ABSTRACT: This is a listing of approximately 37,000 taxonomic genera of marine animals known from the fossil record, based on the late J. John Sepkoski, Jr.’s working database, which he last updated July 13 to November 13, 1998. These data are the basis of many analyses by Sepkoski and others, and are published here with minimal—and surely incomplete—clerical corrections to make this extraordinary compendium widely available. It covers invertebrates, vertebrates, and animal-like protists, gives time intervals of first and last known occurrence, and provides literature sources for these data. The time intervals are mostly the internationally recognized stratigraphic stages; many are resolved to substage divisions. Genera are presented in a classification by order, class, phylum, and kingdom, reflecting current classifications in the published literature.
