The genus name comes from the [[village]] of [[Hyner, Pennsylvania]], which is near where the first specimen was found. ''Hyneria'' would've been as long as around 2 to 4 meters in length, and would've weighed around 2 tons. It swam in [[rivers]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Daeschler|first=Edward B.|last2=Downs|first2=Jason P.|date=2018-05-04|title=New description and diagnosis of Hyneria lindae (Sarcopterygii, Tristichopteridae) from the Upper Devonian Catskill Formation in Pennsylvania, U.S.A.|url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02724634.2018.1448834|journal=Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology|language=en|volume=38|issue=3|pages=e1448834|doi=10.1080/02724634.2018.1448834|issn=0272-4634}}</ref> [[File:Hyneria (cropped) 2.jpg|thumb|An illustration showing ''Hyneria''.]] == References == {{reflist}} == Other websites == {{commonscat}} *[http://www.devoniantimes.org/who/pages/hyneria.html Hyneria] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080511144000/http://www.devoniantimes.org/who/pages/hyneria.html |date=2008-05-11 }} at Devonian Times {{taxonbar|from=132969}} {{authority control}} [[Category:Extinct fish]] [[Category:Lobe-finned fish]] [[Category:Devonian]] [[Category:Animals of North America]] [[Category:Animals of Africa]]
