From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sinamia is an extinct genus of freshwater amiiform fish which existed in China, Japan, South Korea[1] and North Korea[2] during the Early Cretaceous period.[3] Like the related bowfin, it has an elongated low-running dorsal fin, though this was likely convergently evolved.[4]
