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
Echidnocephalus is an extinct genus of prehistoric halosaur known from the Late Cretaceous. It is the earliest known definitive member of the order Notacanthiformes.
Bobbichthys is an extinct genus of marine ray-finned fish that lived in what is now Chile during the Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic epoch. It was a member of the Varasichthyidae, a family of potentially crossognathiform fish.
Daedalichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish that lived during the Early Triassic epoch. It contains a single species, D. formosa from the Olenekian-aged Cynognathus Assemblage Zone of South Africa. It was previously classified in Dictyopyge.
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.
Eclipes is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish that lived off the coast of western North America during the Late Miocene. It was a member of the Gadidae, making it closely related to modern cods and haddocks. The several species known from this genus inhabited deep waters in what is now the Los Angeles Basin of southern California.
Bolbocara is an extinct genus of rattail that lived during the Upper Miocene subepoch of Southern California. It contains a single species, B. gyrinus. It may be related to the extant genus Bathygadus.
Thyrsocles is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Upper Miocene subepoch.
Chalcidichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric manefish. It contains a single species, C. malacapterygius, that lived during the Upper Miocene of Southern California. It is known from the Modelo Formation in Los Angeles County, and specimens were found during construction of a tunnel on Sepulveda Boulevard. It is assumed to have preyed on siphonophores, like its living relatives.
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 in the United States. Its dorsal fin was huge in comparison with living species. It is known from the Modelo Formation of Los Angeles County.
Dapaloides is an extinct genus of prehistoric estuarine ray-finned fish that lived during the early Oligocene to the early Miocene epoch. Many of the remains now assigned to this genus were previously assigned to Dapalis. It was previously classified as a "percichthyid" under a former treatment of the family, but is now treated as an indeterminate perciform.
Bregmacerina is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish, most likely a codlet, that lived during the early part of the Miocene epoch. It contains a single species, B. antiqua, from the Burdigalian Sakaraul Horizon Formation of North Caucasus, Russia.
Proscinetes is an extinct genus of prehistoric pycnodontiform ray-finned fish from the Jurassic.
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, USA.
Enchelyolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish known from the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous of Europe. It was a member of the Macrosemiidae, a family of ginglymodians distantly related to modern gars, and contains two species that were both previously described as species of Macrosemius.
Meridensia is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the Anisian and Ladinian ages of the Middle Triassic epoch in what is now southern Switzerland and northern Italy. Fossils were recovered from the Besano Formation of Monte San Giorgio and Besano area at the Swiss-Italian boundary.
Palaeogadus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish. It was a nektonic carnivore found in coastal and estuarine marine environments, with fossils found from the Oligocene to Miocene at sites in Denmark, Germany, Poland, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.
Tarasiiformes is an extinct order of prehistoric ray-finned fish.
Araeosteus is an extinct genus of marine ray-finned fish, closely related to the modern-day prowfish. It contains a single species, A. rothi which is known from Late Miocene (Tortonian)-aged marine strata in Southern California, primarily the Diatom Beds of Lompoc and the Santa Monica Mountains.
