Coriops is a genus of prehistoric bony fish. Its fossils are found in Campanian (Mesa Verde Formation), Maastrichtian (Hell Creek Formation), and possibly Paleocene (also Hell Creek) age deposits. This chronological distribution means that the genus may have survived the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that killed the dinosaurs.
