Discoserra is a prehistoric ray-finned fish from the Mississippian of Montana, a member of the Guildayichthyiformes, with a round body and a skull possessing primitive and modern traits.[1] Discoserra is about 60 mm long.[2] In 2006, Discoserra was hypothesized to be a stem neopterygian,[3] although it has alternatively been placed in Cladistia along with other Guildayichthyiformes.[4]
