Remigolepis is not quite as common as Bothriolepis. In contrast to Bothriolepis the pectoral fin is quite short, and Remigolepis may not have been as effective a swimmer as Bothriolepis.
Unlike in Borthriolepis, the body and tail of Remigolepis was covered with tiny bony scales and it is often well preserved in the fossils at Canowindra
