Hyneria was a prehistoric predatory lobe-finned fish that lived during the Devonian period around 360 million years ago. It was approximately 4 meters in length and weighed as much as two tons. There is evidence from bones that it had very strong fins and perhaps could venture onto land.

 In 2008, fossilized teeth, bones and a wall fin were found by Keith Thompson in the Red Hill Shale of Pennsylvania. Many specimens have been found since then, although a complete skeleton has yet to be discovered. Hyneria was just one of many species of lobe-finned fish of the family Tristichopteridae, common in the Late Devonian period, along with its close relative Eusthenopteron, whose well-known fossils are common and so have been intensively studied by scientists for decades.

 Эта ужасная рыба жила во время девонского геологического периода. Длина хайнерии - около 4 метров, а вес - 2 тонны. Она была хищником. Эта рыба имела очень сильные плавники. Она могла иногда выходить из воды на сушу (ненадолго).  Род "Хайнерия" включает только один вид - Хайнерия линдае.
