Pleuropholidae is an extinct family of stem-teleost fish that lived from the Middle Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous. It is one of several families that were historically placed in the paraphyletic order Pholidophoriformes.[1][2] Pleuropholids can be distinguished from other "pholidophoriforms" by the elongated scales on the sides of their bodies.[1]

Taxonomy

The family has five genera:[1][2]
