Popis:	A Belonostomus tenuirostris (Agassiz, 1833) from Late Kimmeridgian (Late Jurassic) of Kelheim (Solnhofen area; Bavaria, southern Germany) that was preserved with three prey fishes in its digestive tract is described. Two of the prey fishes can be assigned to cf. Leptolepides (Orthogonikleithridae), whereas the third possibly represents a juvenile Caturus sp. (Caturidae). This is the first record of a Belonostomus with several prey animals, and the first evidence of a caturid predated by an aspidorhynchid.
