Lampriformes
Lampriformes (also spelt Lampridiformes) are an order of ray-finned fish that includes about 50 living species of deep sea fishes, including the opahs, crestfishes, ribbonfishes, and oarfish. These are acanthomorph teleosts which diverged at the end of the Cretaceous or in the succeeding Paleocene period, 60-70 million years ago.
