Graulia

Graulia is an extinct genus of lobe-finned fish from the Middle Triassic (Ladinian) of eastern France.

[1] The genus name Graulia is a reference to Graoully, a mythical dragon from the folklore of Lorraine, France, where the specimens were found.

The species name branchiodonta, comes from the Greek words βράγχια "gills" and ὀδούς, ὀδόντος "tooth", the latter which refers to the large teeth of the ceratobranchials.

Enlarged sensory canals in the skull suggest strong sensitivity to minimal water changes.

This, in addition to the streamlined skull and relatively large fin, support that Graulia lived a highly active predatory lifestyle.
