Eomola

Eomola is an extinct genus of ocean sunfish that inhabited the northeastern Tethys Ocean during the Eocene.

It contains a single species, E. bimaxillaria from the Bartonian-aged Kuma Formation of Krasnodar Krai, Russia.

[1][2] It is one of the earliest fossil ocean sunfishes known, and differs from all others in the structure of its jaws.

[1] The genus Eomola was described in 1992 by James Tyler and Alexandre Bannikov.
