Judeichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the lower Cenomanian. [1] [2] There is one currently known species, Judeichthys haasi, which was found near Ramallah in Palestine. [3]
Elopopsis is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived from the Cenomanian to Campanian.
Eubiodectes is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Cenomanian.
Enischorhynchus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Turonian of southern Texas.
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.
Stichopterus is an extinct genus of chondrostean ray-finned fish that lived during the Early Cretaceous epoch in Asia. It has been found in Russia and Mongolia.
Eosaurichthys is an extinct saurichthyid ray-finned fish that lived during the late Permian epoch in what is now China. It closely resembles its daughter genus, Saurichthys, in both form and morphology.
Strongylosteus is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the early Toarcian age of the Early Jurassic epoch. Its type species is Strongylosteus hindenburgi (monotypy). It is related to modern sturgeon and paddlefish (Acipenseroidei), but with a different kind of mouth than common species, made for hunting prey in open waters, with a strong lower jaw, similar to modern beluga.
Gigantopterus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Carnian stage of the Late Triassic epoch.
Pholidophoretes is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the Carnian stage of the Late Triassic epoch.
Elpistoichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Carnian stage of the Late Triassic epoch.
Litoptychius is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish.
Notelops is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish.
Saurorhynchus is an extinct genus of carnivorous bony fish that lived during the Early and Middle Jurassic epochs. Fossils have been found in Europe and North America (Canada). It is commonly found in pelagic and lagoonal deposits, but mostly marine. Largest specimens can grow up to 1.9 metres (6.2 ft).
Pholidoctenus is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish.
Pholidolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish.
Pholidophoroides is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish.
Peipiaosteus is an extinct genus of prehistoric chondrostean ray-finned fish. Its fossils are found in the Early Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation, Pani Lake, Liaoning Province, China.
Cavenderichthys talbragarensis is a species of prehistoric bony fish found in the Talbragar Fish beds. Recently, it has been placed as a member of Orthogonikleithridae, alongside Leptolepides, Orthogonikleithrus and Waldmanichthys.
Piranhamesodon pinnatomus is a pycnodontiform fish from the Late Jurassic. It was described from the Plattenkalk deposits of the Solnhofen Formation, in Bavaria, Germany. It is notable for having sharp, serrated teeth highly reminiscent of a piranha, a highly unusual trait as most other species in the order Pycnodontiformes were shellfish eaters with flat, crushing teeth. It is also the oldest known bony fish with this trait. This unusual combination is reflected in its genus name, which is a combination of piranha and the frequent pycnodontiform genus suffix Mesodon. Fossils of other fish found in the same area have torn fins possibly attributable to this species.
