Bobbichthys is an extinct genus of ray-finned fish that lived in what is now Chile during the Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic epoch. [1] [2]
Domeykos is an extinct genus of ray-finned fish that lived in what is now Chile during the Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic epoch. It contains one species, Domeykos profetaensis.
Atacamichthys is an extinct genus of ray-finned fish. It contains one species, Atacamichthys greeni, which lived in what is now Chile during the Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic epoch. Atacamichthys is the only member of the family Atacamichthyidae.
Varasichthys is an extinct genus of ray-finned fish that lived during the Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic epoch. It contains one species, Varasichthys ariasi, fossils of which have been found in the Domeyko Range of Antofagasta Region, northern Chile. It has been placed in the family Varasichthyidae together with the genera Bobbichthys, Domeykos, Luisichthys and Protoclupea.
Antofagastaichthys is an extinct genus of ray-finned fish that lived in what is now Chile during the Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic epoch. It contains one species, A. mandibularis, which is known from several fragmentary specimens discovered in the El Profeta Formation of Antofagasta Province.
Chongichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic epoch. Fossils of the genus have been found in the Quebrada El Profeta of Chile.
Oligopleurus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Kimmeridgian stage of the Late Jurassic epoch.
Luisiella is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Kimmeridgian stage of the Late Jurassic epoch. Fossils of the genus have been found in either the Cañadón Calcáreo Formation or Cañadón Asfalto Formation in Chubut Province, Argentina.
Aphnelepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Middle Jurassic epoch.
Saurostomus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the early Toarcian stage of the Early Jurassic epoch.
Euthynotus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the early Toarcian stage of the Early Jurassic epoch. It is generally considered the basalmost pachycormiform.
Parapleuropholis is an extinct genus of ray-finned fish that lived in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo during the early Toarcian stage of the Early Jurassic epoch.
Austropleuropholis is an extinct genus of ray-finned fish that lived during the early Toarcian stage of the Early Jurassic epoch.
Ainia is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the early Toarcian stage of the Early Jurassic epoch.
Protoclupea is an extinct genus of ray-finned fish that lived from the Oxfordian to the early Tithonian stage of the Late Jurassic epoch. It contains one species, Protoclupea chilensis, fossils of which have been found in the Domeyko Range of Antofagasta Region, northern Chile. The genus has been placed in the family Varasichthyidae together with the genera Bobbichthys, Domeykos, Luisichthys and Varasichthys.
Eugnathides is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived from the Oxfordian to the early Tithonian stage of the Late Jurassic epoch. Eugnathides may have been similar to Sphaerodontes.
Luisichthys is an extinct genus of ray-finned fish that lived in what is now Cuba from the Oxfordian to the early Tithonian stage of the Late Jurassic epoch. It contains one species, Luisichthys vinalesensis.
Asthenocormus is an extinct genus of pachycormiform ray-finned fish. A member of the edentulous suspension feeding clade within the Pachycormiformes, fossils have been found in the Upper Jurassic plattenkalks of Bavaria, Germany.
Eurycormus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived from the Callovian stage of the Middle Jurassic epoch to the early Tithonian stage of the Late Jurassic epoch.
Orthocormus is an extinct genus of prehistoric pachycormiform bony fish. It is known from three species found in Late Jurassic (Kimmeridgian) aged plattenkalk deposits in Bavaria, Germany. The species "Hypsocormus" tenuirostris Woodward 1889 from the late Middle Jurassic (Callovian) Oxford Clay is not closely related to the type species of Hypsocormus, and is more closely related to Orthocormus + Protosphyraena, and thus has sometimes been referred to in open nomenclature as Orthocormus? tenuirostris. The species of Orthocormus reached over a metre in length, and are thought to have been pelagic predators.
Pholidophoristion is an extinct genus of stem-teleost ray-finned fish that lived in what is now Europe from the Late Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous.
