Barameda (Indigenous Australian language: "fish trap"[1]) is a genus of rhizodont lobe-finned fishes which lived during the Tournaisian stage near the start of the Carboniferous period in Australia; fossils of the genus have been reported from the Snowy Plains Formation.[2] The largest member of this genus, Barameda decipiens, reached an estimated length of around 3–4 metres (9.8–13.1 ft),[3] while the smallest species, B. mitchelli is estimated to have had a length of about 35 centimetres (14 in).[4]
