Strunius is an extinct genus of lobe-finned fish from the Late Devonian period of Germany and Latvia.
However, its skull was composed of two articulating halves, a feature characteristic of the lobe-finned rhipidistians.
The skull was also divided by a deep articulation, with both halves probably connected by a large muscle, increasing the power of the bite.
Compared to other lobe-finned fishes, Strunius had a rather short, stubby body, and was just 10 centimetres (4 in) long.
It was covered in large, round, bony scales, and probably fed on other fishes.
