Bourbonnella is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater and coastal marine ray-finned fish that lived during the late Mississippian (Carboniferous) and Asselian (Cisuralian/early Permian epoch) in what is now Burgundy (Autun, France), the Czech Republik (Boskovice Graben), and Utah (United States), with other remains known from elsewhere. [1] [2] The genus was named by Daniel Heyler in 1967.
It contains the following species: [3]
Indeterminate remains are known from the Carboniferous of the US (New Mexico) and Spain. [3] Specimens from Germany were found in 2001 to belong to Aeduella . [4]
The species B. jocelynae is the earliest known representative of the family Aeduellidae. [1]
Sauravus is an extinct genus of nectridean tetrapodomorphs within the family Scincosauridae.
Rhabdolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Asselian age of the Cisuralian epoch in what is now Germany and France (Burgundy).
Cornuboniscus is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish that lived during the Pennsylvanian epoch (Carboniferous). It contains a single species, C. budensis from the Bashkirian/lower Westphalian age of what is now Cornwall, England. The genus Cornubonisus was named after the island of Cornubian, and the species name refers to the coastal town of Bude in Cornwall. The type specimen is held in the town's Castle Heritage Centre.
Styracopterus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Tournaisian stage of the Mississippian epoch of Scotland and Eastern European Platform, Russia.
Nematoptychius is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived from the Visean age of the Mississippian epoch to the Bashkirian age of the Pennsylvanian epoch in what is now Scotland, Belgium and France.
Watsonichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Tournaisian age to possibly the Asselian age in what is now Europe and possibly Namibia. It is named after David Meredith Seares Watson.
Aeduella is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater bony fish that lived during the Gzhelian and Asselian-Sakmarian ages in what is now France, Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republik.
Cyranorhis is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Serpukhovian age of the Carboniferous period in what is now Montana, United States.
Cycloptychius is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that existed in the Late Devonian epoch and the Carboniferous period in what is now France, Russia and the United Kingdom.
Charleuxia is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish that lived during the Asselian age in what is now Burgundy, France (Autun). It may possibly belong to the genus Paramblypterus.
Decazella is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Gzhelian (Stephanian) age in what is now Occitania, France.
Westollia is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Asselian age in what is now Thuringia, Germany.
Rhadinichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish. It is known from several species that lived in the Late Devonian epoch, the Carboniferous period and the Cisuralian epoch in what is now Europe, South Africa, and North and South America. Some isolated scales from the Cisuralian of Europe were also referred to this genus.
Gardinerichthys is an extinct genus of freshwater actinopterygian bony fish from the Cisuralian epoch of Germany, and the middle Permian of India. The type species, G. latus, was discovered in Asselian aged layers (Rotliegend).
Igornella is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Gzhelian (Stephanian) to Asselian ages in what is now France (Burgundy).
Guntherichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the late Mississippian/early Pennsylvanian in what is now Utah, United States. Fossils were recovered from the Manning Canyon Shale. The genus is named after Lloyd Gunther.
Spinofacia is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the late Mississippian/early Pennsylvanian in what is now Utah, United States. Fossils were recovered from the Manning Canyon Shale.
Cladodus is an extinct genus of cartilaginous fishes in the family Ctenacanthidae. As the name implies, they are a type of cladodont, primitive sharks with teeth designed to snag fish and swallow them whole, instead of sawing off chunks to swallow.
Pygopterus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Wuchiapingian to Olenekian ages in what is now England, Germany, Greenland and Svalbard (Spitsbergen). It is one of the few genera of ray-finned fish known to cross the Permian-Triassic boundary.
Coccocephalus is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater and marine basal ray-finned fish from the Carboniferous to the early Permian period. The type species, C. wildi, lived during the Bashkirian age of the Pennsylvanian epoch in what is now Lancashire, United Kingdom. One specimen of C. wildi is notable for having the earliest known instance of fossilized brain tissue in a vertebrate.
