Turseodus is an extinct genus of ray-finned fish found in Late Triassic freshwater sediments of the United States. [2] [3] Two species have been described, T. acutus from the Lockatong Formation (Carnian stage) of Pennsylvania, and T. dolorensis from the Chinle Formation (Norian stage) of Colorado. [4]
Although previously placed in the paraphyletic family Palaeoniscidae, [1] Turseodus was later referred to its own family, Turseoidae, by Wilhelm Bock. [5] The lachrymal bone of Turseodus forms part of the oral margin, an unusual condition known otherwise only from the Early to Middle Triassic Pteronisculus . Based on this synapomorphy and other similarities, a close relationship between Turseodus and Pteronisculus is hypothesized. [6] There are also similarities with Turfania from the Permian of China. [6] However, a close evolutionary relationship between these genera has not yet been tested by cladistic analyses.
Pericentrophorus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the early Anisian age of the Middle Triassic epoch in what is now Alsace, France, and Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The type and only species is Pericentrophorus minimus.
Archaeolepidotus is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine holostean bony fish that lived during the latest Permian or earliest Triassic in what is now Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy. It contains a single species, A. leonardii. It is among the earliest known fossil neopterygians, and is usually recovered as a semionotiform, but others recover it as a parasemionotiform.
Australosomus is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the Early Triassic epoch in what is now Greenland, Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, South Africa and Canada.
Tripelta is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Anisian age in what is now New South Wales, Australia.
Dictyopyge is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish that inhabited eastern North America during the early part of the Late Triassic. Two species are recognized, both from the early Carnian-aged Doswell Formation in what is now Virginia, United States:
Pteronisculus is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the Early Triassic and Middle Triassic epochs of the Triassic period worldwide.
Agecephalichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater "palaeonisciform" ray-finned fish that lived during the Anisian age. It contains a single species, A. granulatus from the Hawkesbury Sandstone in what is now New South Wales, Australia.
Chichia is an extinct genus of freshwater ray-finned fish that lived during the Guadalupian epoch. It contains a single species, C. gracilis, known from the Bogda Shan of Xinjiang, China.
Neuburgella is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Cisuralian epoch in what is now Kazakhstan.
Acrolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine bony fish that lived from the Famennian stage of the Devonian to the early Triassic epoch. Some species from the Early Triassic of Tasmania are also ascribed to Acrolepis.
Dorsolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the early Anisian age in what is now France (Alsace) and Germany (Baden-Württemberg). Fossils were found in the Grès à Voltzia in Alsace and in the Buntsandstein in Baden-Württemberg.
Acentrophorus is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater and marine ray-finned fish from the Roadian to the Wuchiapingian of England, Germany (Kupferschiefer), Italy and Russia. There may also be a Triassic occurrence in Australia.
Alleiolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish, which lived during the Ladinian age of the Middle Triassic epoch in what is now Franconia, Germany. It is generally considered a semionotiform. It was first named Leiolepis, but because this genus name is preoccupied by an extant lizard, the genus name of the Triassic fish was changed to Aleiolepis.
Boreolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish that lived from the Late Kungurian to the Wuchiapingian of the Permian period. It inhabited the high northern latitudes in what is now Greenland and European Russia.
Charleuxia is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish that lived during the Asselian age in what is now Burgundy, France (Autun). It may possibly belong to the genus Paramblypterus.
Urosthenes is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Lopingian to Middle Triassic epochs in what is now New South Wales, Australia.
Gardinerichthys is an extinct genus of freshwater actinopterygian bony fish from the Cisuralian epoch of Germany, and the middle Permian of India. The type species, G. latus, was discovered in Asselian aged layers (Rotliegend).
Prohalecites is an extinct genus of ray-finned fish from the Ladinian and possibly Carnian (Triassic) of Italy. It is the oldest known teleosteomorph, a group that includes extant teleosts and their close fossil relatives.
Eigilia is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Roadian age in what is now Kazakhstan.
Korutichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine bony fish that lived during the Lopingian epoch in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. It was first referred to the family Amblypteridae, a view that was later questioned.
