Leedsichthys is an extinct genus of pachycormid fish that lived in the oceans of the Middle to Late Jurassic. [1] It is the largest ray-finned fish, and amongst the largest fish known to have ever existed. [2] The first remains of Leedsichthys were identified in the nineteenth century.
Pachycormiformes varied substantially in size, from medium-sized fishes around 40–111 centimetres (1.31–3.64 ft) in length like the macropredator Pachycormus, [4] to the largest known ray-finned fish, the suspension feeding Leedsichthys, which is estimated to have reached a maximum length of around 16 metres (52 ft).

Rhinconichthys is an extinct genus of bony fish which existed during the Cenomanian stage of the Late Cretaceous. [2]Along with its close cousins the great-white-shark-sized or larger Bonnerichthys and the immense Leedsichthys, Rhinconichthys forms a line of giant filter-feeding bony pachycormid fish that swam the Jurassic and Cretaceous seas for over 100 million years.
