Amiiformes, also known as the bowfins, is an order of fish. The order has only two extant fish, the bowfin and the eyespot bowfin. Even though this order has two extant fish, there are others that were gone. The genus Sinamia died already. After death, these prehistoric freshwater Amiiformes turned into fossils.
