Information: - The beardfishes consist of a single extant genus ("Polymixia") in a small family (Polymixiidae) of deep-sea marine ray-finned fish named for their pair of long hyoid barbels. At present they are classified in their own order Polymixiiformes, but as Nelson says, "few groups have been shifted back and forth as frequently as this one". For instance, they have previously been classified as belonging to the Beryciformes. They are of little economic importance. - Berycopsis is an extinct genus of beardfish from the Cretaceous period . It was about 35 centimetres ( 14 in ) long and one of the first members of the Acanthopterygii , the group that includes the present day barracuda , swordfish , seahorses , and flatfish . Like its modern relatives , the first fin rays in the dorsal and anal fins were modified into defensive spines , and the pelvic fins were located close to the pectoral fins . Berycopsis was one of the earliest fish known to have these features , which are widespread today . - The Cretaceous is a geologic period and system that spans 79 million years from the end of the Jurassic Period million years ago (Mya) to the beginning of the Paleogene Period Mya. It is the last period of the Mesozoic Era. The Cretaceous Period is usually abbreviated K, for its German translation "Kreide" (chalk). - The Jurassic (from Jura Mountains) is a geologic period and system that spans 56.3 million years from the end of the Triassic Period million years ago (Mya) to the beginning of the Cretaceous Period Mya. The Jurassic constitutes the middle period of the Mesozoic Era, also known as the Age of Reptiles. The start of the period is marked by the major TriassicJurassic extinction event. Two other extinction events occurred during the period: the Pliensbachian/Toarcian event in the Early Jurassic, and the Tithonian event at the end; however, neither event ranks among the "Big Five" mass extinctions. - The Paleogene (or ; also spelled Palaeogene or Palogene; informally Lower Tertiary) is a geologic period and system that spans 43 million years from the end of the Cretaceous Period million years ago (Mya) to the beginning of the Neogene Period Mya. It is the beginning of the Cenozoic Era of the present Phanerozoic Eon. The Paleogene is most notable for being the time during which mammals diversified from relatively small, simple forms into a large group of diverse animals in the wake of the CretaceousPaleogene extinction event that ended the preceding Cretaceous Period. - The Beryciformes are an order of ray-finned fishes, a poorly understood group of seven families. Most of about 157 species live in deep marine waters and avoid bright light, coming closer to the surface at night. Classification. The order contains seven families: After reading the paragraphs above, we are interested in knowing the entity with which 'berycopsis' exhibits the relationship of 'parent taxon'.
