Jungersenichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine syngnathiform fish, related to modern trumpetfish, that lived from the early to the middle Eocene of Europe.[2] A single described species is known, J. elongatus from the Early Eocene-aged Monte Bolca site of Italy. An indeterminate species is known from the middle Eocene (Bartonian)-aged upper Kuma Formation of the North Caucasus, Russia.[3][4][1][5]
