Apparently having a long rostrum in from of that gaping mouth has some interesting and beneficial fluid dynamic properties.

I'll bet Moontanman gets right to work building a time machine as soon as he sees this.
Remember to BYO nets, glass, and silicone sealant Moon - those might be hard to find in the Cretaceous.

If only! It is wild to think of possible fish we could have had if only. The other paddlefish, which last time I checked is now extinct. wasn't a filter feeder like ours but a piscivore, fossils are almost as fascinating as extant fishes.
Was there a illustration on that link?

Yes there is an illustration; give it a moment to download. Fish to me looks like a teleost, almost like an extremely elongate tuna or billfish without the rostrom of a billfish or paddlefish.
