Hyneria is an extinct genus of big lobe-finned fish that lived in the late Devonian. The genus name comes from the village of Hyner, Pennsylvania, which is near where the first specimen was found. Hyneria would've been as long as around 2 to 4 meters in length, and would've weighed around 2 tons. It swam in rivers.[1]
