''Polymixia'' is the only extant genus of the order Polymixiiformes and family Polymixiidae. It contains 10 species, all of which live in deepwater marine environments. They are found in tropical and subtropical waters of the Atlantic, Indian and western Pacific Oceans. They are bottom-dwelling fish, found down to about . Most are relatively small fish, although one species is over in length. They can be considered "living fossils" due to being the only surviving members of the once-diverse order Polymixiiformes.

Gilbert, 1905 (Pacific beardfish) * ''Polymixia busakhini'' Kotlyar, 1993 (Busakhin's beardfish) * '' Polymixia carmenae'' Caixeta, Oliveira & de Melo, 2024 (Brazilian beardfish) * '' Polymixia fusca'' Kotthaus, 1970 * '' Polymixia hollisterae'' Grande & Wilson, 2021 (Bermuda beardfish) * '' Polymixia japonica'' Günther, 1877 (Silver eye) * ''Polymixia longispina'' ...

Late Cretaceous
The Late Cretaceous (100.5–66 Ma) is the more recent of two epochs into which the Cretaceous Period is divided in the geologic time scale. Rock strata from this epoch form the Upper Cretaceous Series. The Cretaceous is named after ''creta'', the Latin word for the white limestone known as chalk. The chalk of northern France and the white cliffs of south-eastern England date from the Cretaceous Period. Climate During the Late Cretaceous, the climate was warmer than present, although throughout the period a cooling trend is evident. The tropics became restricted to equatorial regions and northern latitudes experienced markedly more seasonal climatic conditions. Geography Due to plate tectonics, the Americas were gradually moving westward, causing the Atlantic Ocean to expand. The Western Interior Seaway divided North America into eastern and western halves; Appalachia and Laramidia. India maintained a northward course towards Asia. In the Southern Hemisphere, Aus ...
