Euzaphlegidae
Euzaphlegidae is a family of extinct escolar-like fish closely related to the snake mackerels. Fossils of euzaphlegids are found from Paleocene to Late Miocene-aged marine strata of Europe, the Caucasus Mountains, India, Iran, Turkmenistan, Italy,Bannikov, Alexandre F.

''Miocene Fishes of Southern California''. Geological Society of America. pp. 104-115. Description and taxonomy In life, the Euzaphlegidae would have borne a superficial resemblance to mackerels or wahoo, leading some researchers to place them within the Scombridae or Cybiidae, respectively. However, X-ray analysis of the bone structure strongly suggests a relationship with the snake-mackerels, with some experts placing them wi ...

Palimphyes
''Palimphyes'' is an extinct genus of prehistoric euzaphlegid bony fish related to the escolars and snake mackerels.Bannikov, ALEXANDRE F. "A new genus and species of putative euzaphlegid fish from the Eocene of Bolca in northern Italy (Periformes, Trichiuroidea)." Studi e Ricerche sui giacimenti Terziari di Bolca, XII Miscellanea Paleontologica 9 (2008): 99-107/ref> The various species lived as deepwater mesopelagic predators in the Tethys and Paratethys oceans, with fossils of ten species found in Paleocene to Oligocene strata of the Swiss Alps, the Carpathian and Caucasus Mountains, Iran, India, and Turkmenistan.

Zaphlegulus
''Zaphlegulus venturaensis'' is an extinct, superficially mackerel-like, fish related to the cutlassfish and snake mackerels found off the coast of what is now California during the late Miocene. ''Z. venturaensis'' was shorter, but stouter than either of the other two better known genera of the extinct family Zaphlegidae, ''Thyrsocles'' and '' Euzaphleges'', which also lived at the same time.David, Lore Rose.

Gempylidae
The Gempylidae are a family of perciform fishes commonly known as snake mackerels or escolars. The family includes about 25 species. They are elongated fishes with a similar appearance to barracudas, having a long dorsal fin, usually with one or finlets trailing it. The largest species, including the snoek ('' Thyrsites atun''), grow up to 2 m long, and the oilfish (''Ruvettus pretiosus'') can reach 3 m, though they rarely surpass 150 cm. Like the barracudas, they are predators, with fang-like teeth. They are deep-water benthopelagic fishes, and several species are important commercial and game fishes.

Euzaphleges
''Euzaphleges longurio'' is an extinct, superficially mackerel-like fish related to the escolar and snake mackerels. ''Euzaphleges'' was found off the coast of what is now California during the late Miocene. It was smaller than the very similar ''Thyrsocles'' and longer and more slender than ''Zaphlegulus'', which also lived at the same time. It was much longer than the poorly known '' Trossulus''.David, Lore Rose. January 10, 1943.

Pleistocene
The Pleistocene ( , often referred to as the '' Ice age'') is the geological epoch that lasted from about 2,580,000 to 11,700 years ago, spanning the Earth's most recent period of repeated glaciations. Before a change was finally confirmed in 2009 by the International Union of Geological Sciences, the cutoff of the Pleistocene and the preceding Pliocene was regarded as being 1.806 million years Before Present (BP). Publications from earlier years may use either definition of the period. The end of the Pleistocene corresponds with the end of the last glacial period and also with the end of the Paleolithic age used in archaeology. The name is a combination of Ancient Greek grc, label=none, πλεῖστος, pleīstos, most and grc, label=none, καινός, kainós (latinized as ), 'new'. At the end of the preceding Pliocene, the previously isolated North and South American continents were joined by the Isthmus of Panama, causing a faunal interchange between the t ...

Spinyfin
Spinyfins are a family, Diretmidae, of trachichthyform fishes. The family name is derived from the type genus, '' Diretmus'', from Greek, ''di'' meaning "two" and ''eretmos'' meaning "oar". They are found worldwide in deep waters, as deep as . As the common name implies, spinyfins have heavy spines along their fins. They have deep, compressed bodies, and almost vertically aligned mouths. They are dark silver in colour, and reach up to in length.
