Inoceramus
Inoceramus (Greek: translation "fibrous shell" for the fibrous structure of the mineral crystals in the shell) is an extinct genus of fossil marine pteriomorphian bivalves that superficially resembled the related winged pearly oysters of the extant genus Pteria. They lived from the Early Jurassic to latest Cretaceous.

Aspidorhynchus
Aspidorhynchus (from Ancient Greek ἀσπίς (aspís), meaning "shield", and ῥύγχος (rhúnkos), meaning "snout") is an extinct genus of predatory ray-finned fish from the Middle Jurassic to the earliest Cretaceous. Fossils have been found in Europe, Antarctica and the Caribbean.
Gyrodus
Gyrodus (from , 'curved' and 'tooth') is an extinct genus of pycnodontiform ray-finned fish that lived from the Middle Jurassic (Bajocian) to the Early Cretaceous (Barremian).
Spitrasaurus
Spitrasaurus is an extinct genus of cryptoclidid plesiosauroid plesiosaur known from the uppermost Jurassic of central Spitsbergen, Norway and likely also Kimmeridge, England. It is named after a syllabic abbreviation for Spitsbergen Travel. Two species have been named: Spitrasaurus wensaasi, honouring volunteer Tommy Wensås, and Spitrasaurus larseni honouring volunteer Stig Larsen.

Cricosaurus
thumb|Life reconstruction of C. albersdoerferi
Cricosaurus is an extinct genus of marine crocodyliforms of the Late Jurassic. belonging to the family Metriorhynchidae. The genus was established by Johann Andreas Wagner in 1858 for three skulls from the Tithonian (Late Jurassic) of Germany. The name Cricosaurus means "Ring lizard", and is derived from the Greek '- ("ring") and -' ("lizard"). It was a relatively small reptile, with C. suevicus and C. araucanensis measuring and in total body length, respectively.
Phylloceras
Phylloceras is an extinct genus of ammonoid cephalopods belonging to the family Phylloceratidae. These nektonic carnivores lived from Early Jurassic (Hettangian age) to Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian age) (from 201.30 to 66.043 Ma).
Brachyphyllum
Brachyphyllum (meaning "short leaf") is a form genus of fossil coniferous plant foliage. Plants of the genus have been variously assigned to several different conifer groups including Araucariaceae and Cheirolepidiaceae. They are known from around the globe from the Late Carboniferous to the Late Cretaceous periods.
Thrissops
Thrissops (from , 'hair' and 'look') is an extinct genus of stem-teleost fish from the Jurassic period (Kimmeridgian to Tithonian). Its fossils are known from the Solnhofen Limestone, as well as the Kimmeridge Clay.
Caturus
Caturus (from , 'down' and 'tail') is an extinct genus of predatory marine fishes in the family Caturidae in the order Amiiformes, related to modern bowfin. It has been suggested that the genus is non-monophyletic with respect to other caturid genera.
Ausichicrinites zelenskyyi
Ausichicrinites is a genus of feather stars (comatulids) in the upper Jurassic period (Tithonian epoch), central western Ethiopia approximately 145 million years ago. This genus was found in the upper part of the Antalo Limestone Formation 2114 meters (6935 feet) in elevation. The genus name Ausichicrinites refers to William I. Aussich, a leading expert on the order comatulids, while the species name Ausichicrinites zelenskyyi was named in honor of the sixth president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in support of him during the Russian invasion of Ukraine which was ongoing at the time of its
Belonostomus
Belonostomus (from , 'dart' and 'mouth') is a genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that was described by Louis Agassiz in 1844. It is a member of the order Aspidorhynchiformes, a group of fish known for their distinctive elongated rostrums.
Eurycormus
Eurycormus is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish known from the Late Jurassic. It contains a single species, E. speciosus, known from the early Tithonian-aged Eichstätt Formation of Germany.
Lytoceras
Lytoceras is an ammonite genus that was extant during most of the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, and is the type genus for the family Lytoceratidae. These cephalopods were fast-moving nektonic carnivores.
Priacodon
Priacodon is an extinct genus of Late Jurassic eutriconodont mammal from the Alcobaça Formation of Portugal and the Morrison Formation of the midwestern United States.
It is present in stratigraphic zones 4–6 of the latter. The genus contains four known species: Priacodon ferox, Priacodon fruitaensis, Priacodon lulli and Priacodon robustus.
Coccolepis
Coccolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish in the family Coccolepididae. Originally including most species within the family, it is now restricted to two species from the Late Jurassic Solnhofen Limestone of Germany. The holotype of C. bucklandi, designated and described by Louis Agassiz, was thought to be lost but was later rediscovered in Neuchâtel.

Glyptops
Glyptops is an extinct genus of pleurosternid freshwater turtle known from the Late Jurassic of North America.
Owadowia
Owadowia is a genus of extinct thalassochelydian turtle from the Late Jurassic of Poland. The type and only species is Owadowia borsukbialynickae, named by Szczygielski and colleagues in 2017 for a partial lower jaw, coracoid, ilium and femur from the early Tithonian Kcynia Formation. The limited material means that it is difficult to compare Owadowia to its relatives, and it may not be a unique taxon. The genus lacks the features diagnostic to its parent clade Thalassochelydia, has similarities to Solnhofia and Portlandemys as well as being a Late Jurassic marine turtle like the remainder of
Pachythrissops
Pachythrissops is an extinct genus of ray-finned fish. It contains two species, P. laevis from the Purbeckian of England and P. propterus from the Tithonian of Germany. A third species, P. vectensis, has been reassigned to the elopiform genus Arratiaelops. Pachythrissops is often regarded as one of the most primitive members of the order Ichthyodectiformes; however, a phylogenetic analysis by Cavin et al. (2013) placed it and the related genus Ascalabothrissops outside the group.
Cavenderichthys
Cavenderichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater ray-finned fish from the Late Jurassic. It contains a single species, C. talbragarensis from the Talbragar Fish beds of New South Wales, Australia.
Ascalabos
Ascalabos is an extinct genus of marine ray-finned fish known from the Late Jurassic Solnhofen Limestone of Germany. It contains one species, A. voithii. Some authorities synonymize it with Leptolepis.
Carpopenaeus
Carpopenaeus is an extinct genus of prawn, which existed during the Upper Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. It contains three species.
Plagiostoma

Isanichthys
Isanichthys is an extinct genus of freshwater lepidotid ginglymodian fish from the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous. Four species are known from Thailand, China and the United Kingdom, two of which were previously classified in genera.
Ptychoceratodus
Ptychoceratodus is an extinct genus of lungfish living from Early Triassic to Middle Jurassic. It was established by Otto Jaekel for one species (P. runcinatus), transferred from Ceratodus genus. Type species is P. serratus from the Middle Triassic of Switzerland and Germany. Ptychoceratodus had two pairs of massive dental plates, bearing 4-6 acute ridges. Its skull roof was composed from massive, plate-like bones. In the central part of skull roof was localized an unossified fenestra. Most of the Ptychoceratodus findings are isolated dental plates, some associated with jaws. Other parts of sk
