Porolepis is an extinct genus of porolepiform sarcopterygian fish,[1] from the Early Devonian Dniester Series of Ukraine, which is rich in Porolepis remains, and also the Nellen Koepfchen Beds of Germany.[2][3] It lived alongside the dubious lophotrochozoan Macrodontophion.[4] It was first described in 1858[5] but Porolepis was not named as a sufficient species until 1891.[6]
