Zeuchthiscus is a genus of prehistoric ray finned fish that lived in Australia [3] during the Early Triassic Period. [1] It is believed to have been a nektonic omnivore. [4] Closely related fish had a wide distribution in the northern hemisphere. [5]
Judeichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the lower Cenomanian. There is one currently known species, Judeichthys haasi, which was found near Ramallah in Palestine.
Pronotacanthus sahelalmae is an extinct spiny eel that lived in marine environments of what is now Lebanon during the Santonian.
Neopachycormus is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Cenomanian.
Hungkiichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the Late Jurassic epoch.
Jacobulus is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the Early Triassic epoch in what is now northern Madagascar 252.3 to 251.3 million years ago. The type species is Jacobulus novus (monotypy). It was a small fish less than 10 centimetres (3.9 in) in length. J. novus ecology was a grazer-detritivore. It belongs to the Parasemionotidae together with Albertonia, Candelarialepis, Icarealcyon, Lehmanotus, Parasemionotus, Qingshania, Stensioenotus, Suius, Thomasinotus, and Watsonulus.
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.
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.
Leptolepides is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the early Tithonian stage of the Late Jurassic epoch.
Abadzekhia is an extinct genus of prehistoric snake mackerel that lived from the early Oligocene epoch in what is now the Caucasus Mountains of Southern Russia. Fossils of this genus have also been found in Germany.
Pholidophoretes is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the Carnian stage of the Late Triassic epoch.
Eugnathides is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived from the Oxfordian to the early Tithonian stage of the Late Jurassic epoch. Eugnathides may have been similar to Sphaerodontes.
Ptycholepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish having the head and opercular bones ornamented with ridges of ganoin, minute teeth, and thick scales.

Eoeugnathus is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish belonging to the Halecomorphi. Eoeugnathus existed during the Middle Triassic in what is now Italy, Spain, and Switzerland. The type species is Eoeugnathus megalepis (monotypy).
Paralepidotus is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish.
Perleidiformes are an extinct order of prehistoric ray-finned fish from the Triassic period Although numerous Triassic taxa have been referred to Perleidiformes, which ones should be included for it to form a monophyletic group is a matter of ongoing scientific debate.
Ptycholepiformes are an extinct order of prehistoric ray-finned fish that existed during the Triassic period and the Early Jurassic epoch. The order includes the genera Acrorhabdus, Ardoreosomus, Boreosomus, Chungkingichthys, Ptycholepis, and Yuchoulepis. Although several families have been proposed, some studies place all these genera in the same family, Ptycholepididae.
Tarasiiformes is an extinct order of prehistoric ray-finned fish.
Peltopleuridae were an extinct family of prehistoric bony fish. It is classified with the order Peltopleuriformes.
Cardioceras is an extinct ammonite genus belonging to the family Cardioceratidae. These fast-moving nektonic carnivores lived during the Jurassic period, Oxfordian age.
