Relating to or resembling ganoid fish; characteristic of the ganoid fish group.
From ganoid plus -ean (suffix meaning relating to or belonging to). An alternative adjectival form emphasizing membership in the ganoid classification.
The term 'ganoidean' was favored by Victorian naturalists who loved adding -ean to scientific terms—it made them sound more official and serious, like saying 'Shakespearean' instead of 'like Shakespeare.'
