Kichkassia is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish from the order Eurynotoidiformes. It contains only a single species, K. furcae, known from the Permian of European Russia. [1] [2] The former genus Amblypterina and its type species A. costata are considered a junior synonym of it, although some of its species have also been transferred to Isadia . [2] [3]

Xenacanthida is an order or superorder of extinct shark-like chondrichthyans known from the Carboniferous to Triassic. They were native to freshwater, marginal marine and shallow marine habitats. Some xenacanths may have grown to lengths of 5 m (16 ft). Most xenacanths died out at the end of the Permian in the End-Permian Mass Extinction, with only a few forms surviving into the Triassic.

<i>Coelacanthus</i> Extinct genus of coelacanths

Coelacanthus is a genus of extinct coelacanths that first appeared during the Permian period. It was the first genus of coelacanths described, about a century before the discovery of the extant coelacanth Latimeria. The order Coelacanthiformes is named after it.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Palaeonisciformes</span> Extinct order of fishes

The Palaeonisciformes, commonly known as "palaeoniscoids" are an extinct grouping of primitive ray-finned fish (Actinopterygii), spanning from the Silurian/Devonian to the Cretaceous. They are generally considered paraphyletic, but their exact relationships to living ray-finned fish are uncertain. While some and perhaps most palaeoniscoids likely belong to the stem-group of Actinopteryii, it has been suggested that some may belong to the crown group, with some of these possibly related to Cladistia and/or Chondrostei. Many palaeoniscoids share a conservative body shape and a similar arrangement of skull bones.
