Turfanodon

Turfanodon is an extinct genus of dicynodont therapsid from the Late Permian Sunan, Guodikeng, and Naobaogou Formations of China. The holotype of T. bogdaensis was discovered between 1963-1964 and was originally named in 1973 by A. Sun with the type species Turfanodon bogdaensis, Turfanodon was reclassified as a junior synonym of the related Dicynodon in 1988 by G. M. King. T. bogdaensis remained a species of Dicynodon for over two decades before the genus was reinstated in 2011 in a revision of the taxonomy of Dicynodon by palaeontologist Christian Kammerer. A sec

Markuelia
Markuelia is a genus of fossil worm-like bilaterian animals allied to Ecdysozoa and known from strata of Lower Cambrian to Lower Ordovician age containing five species.
Oiophassus nycterus
Oiophassus is an extinct genus of moth in the family Hepialidae. It contains only one species, Oiophassus nycterus, which was described from Shanwang Bed sw2 in the Linchu district, Shandong province in China, which is part of an Astaracian lacustrine sandstone/mudstone in the Shanwang Formation.
Lotheridium
Lotheridium is an extinct genus of deltatheroidan mammals that lived in what is now Asia during the Late Cretaceous, about 72–66 million years ago. The genus contains a single species, Lotheridium mengi, named in 2015 after paleontologist Jin Meng. It is known from a single fossil specimen—a skull with associated lower jaws—found in the Qiupa Formation of Henan Province, China and housed in the collections of the Zhejiang Museum of Natural History. The skull measures in length, suggesting Lotheridium was large compared to most other deltatheroidans. Though the preserved skull is almost complet
Habroichthys
Habroichthys is an extinct genus of peltopleuriform ray-finned fish from the Middle Triassic, and is the only genus of the monotypic family Habroichthyidae. Fossils of the fish have been found in a number of countries being Slovenia, Italy, and China. Species within the genus were small with the largest species having a standard length of only . Due to their small size, the preservation of the skull bones of the fish are usually poorly preserved, resulting in species being identified by the number of flank scales along with the placement of certain fins on the body. Within their environment, H
