Three species of Thylacocephala have been described from the Solnhofen Formation (“Solnhofen lithographic limestones”) so far: Clausocaris lithographica, Dollocaris michelorum, and Mayrocaris bucculata. A fourth new genus and species was newly described in 2019: Falcatacaris bastelbergeri.

Around Solnhofen at least four species of coelacanth have been recorded: Coccoderma nudum REIS 1888, Holophagus penicillata EGERTON 1861, Libys superbus ZITTEL & REIS 1888 and Macropoma willemoesii VETTER 1881 Coccoderma nudum is the smallest of these 4 species with barely more than 30cm.

Taxonomy from GBIF.org. Diagnosis (from Arratia 1997): "Small, elongated teleost with a known maximum length of 65 mm. Head length 23–27% of standard length. Ethmoidal region about 24% of head length. With middle pit-line groove running onto pterotic. Two supraorbital bones, the first one expanded anteroventrally. Preopercular limbs form an angle of 90°. Quadrate-mandibular articulation placed below center of orbit. Dorsal fin origin anterior to pelvic fin origin. Origin of dorsal fin at 54–63% of standard length. Origin of anal fin at 84–88 % of standard length. With 45 or 46 vertebrae. Pectoral fin rays 15–19, pelvic fin rays 10–11, dorsal fin rays 15–16, anal fin rays 9. Complex epipleural bones bearing two or three thin projections about midlength of vertebral column."

Taxonomy from Fossilworks.com. Diagnosis from Poyato-Ariza & Wenz 2004, p. 370: "Turbomesodon presenting the following unique combination of primitive and derived characters: dorsal apex at the point of insertion of the dorsal fin; ventral apex absent; coronoid process high, with straight dorsal border; about 32 vertebrae (epichordal elements excluding those of the caudal endoskeleton); first one or two dorsal axonosts not supporting fin rays (one or two free dorsal axonosts present); about 39 dorsal and 30 anal axonosts; caudal fin double emarginated; dorsal and anal fins sigmoid in contour, placed at 60-69 % of standard length; pelvic fins at 45-55 % of standard length; some anterior dorsal ridge scales eventually separated from each other; 17-20 ventral keel scales; 6 postcloacal ventral keel scales; up to 5 spines on contour scales; spines on each ventral keel scale in contact with each other; supracloacal scale ventrally in contact with cloacal scales only" References: Poyato-Ariza, F. & Wenz, S.(2004): The new pycnodontid fish genus Turbomesodon, and a revision of Macromesodon based on new material from the Lower Cretaceous of Las Hoyas, Cuenca, Spain.
