Lompoquia retropes is an extinct genus of ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Sciaenidae, the drums. [2] These fishes lived what is now Southern California [3] during the Upper Miocene subepoch. [1]
Two species are classified within this genus: [2]
† means extinct
Laytonia is an extinct genus of prehistoric halosaur that lived in deep water off the North American Pacific Coast from the Zemorrian Epoch until during the Upper Miocene subepoch, when tectonic uplift effectively destroyed the genus' habitat by making the deep water too shallow.
Bolbocara gyrinus is an extinct rattail that lived during the Upper Miocene subepoch of Southern California. It may be related to the extant genus Bathygadus.
Tunita is an extinct genus of prehistoric mackerel that lived during the Upper Miocene subepoch of Southern California.
Lirosceles is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the Upper Miocene subepoch.
Lophar miocaenus is an extinct bony fish almost identical in form to the living bluefish, Pomatomus saltatrix, differing in its dentition, which consisted of "thick, conical subequal teeth" instead of the sharp, slender teeth and canines seen in bluefish. L. miocaenus lived during the Upper Miocene subepoch of Southern California.
Absalomichthys velifer is an extinct, prehistoric manefish that lived during the Upper Miocene of what is now Southern California. Its dorsal fin was huge in comparison with living species.
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.
Pholidophoretes is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the Carnian stage of the Late Triassic epoch.
Haplolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the late Moscovian stage of the Pennsylvanian epoch.
Acentrophorus is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish from the Permian and Triassic periods. Fossils have been found in Australia, Germany and the United Kingdom. It was the oldest known neopterygian.
Protautoga is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish, that lived in the Middle Miocene. Fossils have been found in the Paraná Formation of Argentina and the Calvert Formation of Virginia.
Notelops is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish.
Manlietta is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish.
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.
Pholidophoropsis is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish.
Palaeogadus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish. Ecology: nektonic carnivore
Tarasiiformes is an extinct order of prehistoric ray-finned fish.
Ozymandias gilberti is a species of extinct ray-finned fish from the Miocene which was described by David Starr Jordan in 1907 from a single specimen, comprising the skull and some vertebrae, discovered from San Pedro, California. It is thought to be a species of large mackerel or tuna in the family Scombridae. Jordan initially assigned another fossil to this species but changed his mind and assigned the second fossil to the living Cottoid genus Ophiodon, the lingcod, as Ophiodon ozymandias. The specific name honours the discoverer of the fossil Dr James Z. Gilbert.
