Tripelta is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Anisian age (Middle Triassic epoch) in what is now New South Wales, Australia. [2]

Fossils are derived from the Sydney sandstone. The type and only species, Tripelta dubia, was first fescribed as Peltopleurus dubius by Arthur Smith Woodward, but Robert Thompson Wade later erected the new genus Tripelta for this species. [3]

Watsonulus is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the Early Triassic epoch in what is now Madagascar. It may have also existed in what is now Himachal Pradesh, India, during the Induan age. The type species, described by Jean Piveteau, is Watsonia eugnathoides.
