Coccolepis is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish in the family Coccolepididae.[2] Originally including most species within the family, it is now restricted to two species from the Late Jurassic Solnhofen Limestone of Germany.[3] The holotype of C. bucklandi, designated and described by Louis Agassiz, was thought to be lost but was later rediscovered in Neuchâtel.[4]
