Actinopterygii

Actinopterygii, members of which are known as ray-finned fish or actinopterygians, is a class of bony fish that comprise over 50% of living vertebrate species.

See Ainia (fish) and Actinopterygii

Bowfin

The bowfin (Amia calva) is a bony fish, native to North America.

See Ainia (fish) and Bowfin

Caturus

Caturus (from κατω, 'down' and οὐρά 'tail') is an extinct genus of predatory marine fishes in the family Caturidae in the order Amiiformes, related to modern bowfin. Ainia (fish) and Caturus are Kimmeridgian genera and Solnhofen fauna.

David Starr Jordan

David Starr Jordan (January 19, 1851 – September 19, 1931) was the founding president of Stanford University, serving from 1891 to 1913.

Kimmeridgian

In the geologic timescale, the Kimmeridgian is an age in the Late Jurassic Epoch and a stage in the Upper Jurassic Series.

Late Jurassic

The Late Jurassic is the third epoch of the Jurassic Period, and it spans the geologic time from 161.5 ± 1.0 to 145.0 ± 0.8 million years ago (Ma), which is preserved in Upper Jurassic strata.

See Ainia (fish) and Late Jurassic

Lepidotes

Lepidotes (from λεπιδωτός, 'covered with scales') (previously known as Lepidotus) is an extinct genus of Mesozoic ray-finned fish.

List of prehistoric bony fish genera

This list of prehistoric bony fish is an attempt to create a comprehensive listing of all genera from the fossil record that have ever been considered to be bony fish (class Osteichthyes), excluding purely vernacular terms.

Nomen nudum

In taxonomy, a nomen nudum ('naked name'; plural nomina nuda) is a designation which looks exactly like a scientific name of an organism, and may have originally been intended to be one, but it has not been published with an adequate description.

See Ainia (fish) and Nomen nudum

Osteorachis

Osteorachis is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish. Ainia (fish) and Osteorachis are Jurassic fish stubs and prehistoric ray-finned fish stubs.

See Ainia (fish) and Osteorachis

Solnhofen Limestone

The Solnhofen Limestone or Solnhofen Plattenkalk, formally known as the Altmühltal Formation, is a Jurassic Konservat-Lagerstätte that preserves a rare assemblage of fossilized organisms, including highly detailed imprints of soft bodied organisms such as sea jellies.
