Protobalistum imperiale Protobalistum Fossile de Protobalistum imperialede l'Éocène du Monte Bolca (Italie). Genre † Protobalistum, 1887 Espèce † Protobalistum imperialeMassalongo, 1857 Protobalistum est un genre éteint de poissons osseux marins de la famille des Protobalistidae, du sous-ordre des et de l'ordre des Tetraodontiformes, un taxon qui comprend essentiellement des poissons marins vivant aujourd'hui à l'intérieur et autour des récifs coralliens. Une seule espèce est attribuée à ce genre : Protobalistum imperiale, décrite en 1857 par le naturaliste italien Abramo Massalongo. rdf:langString
Il protobalisto (Protobalistum imperiale) è un pesce osseo estinto, appartenente ai tetraodontiformi. Visse nell’Eocene medio (circa 48 – 50 milioni di anni fa) e i suoi resti fossili sono stati ritrovati in Italia, nel famoso giacimento di Bolca. rdf:langString
Protobalistum imperiale is an extinct prehistoric tetraodontid bony fish that lived from the Lutetian epoch of Eocene Monte Bolca. In life, it would have resembled a compressed boxfish with five massive spines along the anterior-dorsal side, with the longest spine directly above the forehead, and the shortest spine directly in front of the dorsal fin. It is distinguished from its close, sympatric relative, Spinacanthus, in that its scales are large, and form a sort of armor. (In S. cuneiformis, the individual scales are relatively small, and do not touch each other). rdf:langString

(In S. cuneiformis, the individual scales are relatively small, and do not touch each other). Protobalistum imperiale and Spinacanthus were a part of the ecosystem of the lagoon that would become Monte Bolca. It has been suggested that, because of their similarity to boxfish, and due to their close relation to modern-day triggerfish, spinacanthids may have preyed on shellfish and small fish.
