Willomorichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Carboniferous period (Visean age) in what is now South Africa. Fossils were recovered from the Upper Witteberg Series. [1]
Atopocephala is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish that lived during the Middle Triassic epoch. It contains a single species, A. watsoni from the Karoo Supergroup of South Africa. A potential indeterminate species was known from the Timezgadiouine Formation of Morocco, but is now considered an indeterminate actinopterygian.
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.
Brookvalia is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish that lived during the Middle Triassic epoch.
Helichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Early Triassic epoch in what is now South Africa.
Sakamenichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Early Triassic epoch in what is now Madagascar. Fossils were recovered from beds of the Middle Sakamena Formation of the Beroroha basin in the southern part of the island.
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.
Elonichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish. The genus is represented by several species from Carboniferous and Permian of Europe, Greenland, South Africa, and North America.
Caruichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish that lived during the Early Triassic epoch. It contains a single species, Caruichthys ornatus, known from what is now South Africa. It is known from a single specimen, which was collected from the middle Beaufort Series of Doorn River.
Cycloptychius is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater & marine ray-finned fish that existed throughout much of the Carboniferous period in Eurasia, and possibly into the Early Permian in South Africa. It was a member of the Rhadinichthyidae, a family of basal ray-finned fish that was formerly placed in the now-paraphyletic order Palaeonisciformes.
Corunegenys is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish that lived during the Late Triassic epoch near what is now Bowral in New South Wales, Australia. It contains a single species, C. bowralensis. Some studies suggest that it may be related to Semionotus capensis.
Dwykia is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Carboniferous period in what is now South Africa. Fossils were recovered from the Upper Witteberg Series.
Westollia is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Asselian age in what is now Thuringia, Germany.
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.
Uydenia is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish from the Cisuralian of Kazakhstan.
Todiltia is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish.
Sundayichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Carboniferous period in what is now South Africa. Fossils were recovered from the Upper Witteberg Series.
Rhadinichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish. It is known from several species that lived in the Late Devonian epoch, the Carboniferous period and the Cisuralian epoch in what is now Europe, South Africa, and North and South America. Some isolated scales from the Cisuralian of Europe were also referred to this genus.
Egertonia is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish. The earliest occurrences of the genus in the fossil record are from the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar and India.
Phanerosteon is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish from the Carboniferous period. The type species, P. mirabile, was recovered from the Calciferous sandstone series (Pennsylvanian), Scotland. A second species, P. phonax was described from the Serpukhovian aged Bear Gulch Limestone lagerstätte in Montana, United States.
The Witteberg or Witteberge is a South African mountain range just off the south-west corner of Lesotho. The range, which rises to 2408 metres, stretches for about 60 km (37 mi) from Lundin's Neck in the east to Lady Grey in the west. The range lends its name to the Witteberg Series, the uppermost fossiliferous sequence of the Cape System of sedimentary rocks in South Africa.
