Honestly there are way to many to list. It is sad to say that thousands of species have gone extinct since 1500.
A website that can explain more and direct you to different animals is http://dodosgone.blogspot.com/2007/05/about.html BUT... I will also add my input right here.

The most common one that would come to mind is the Raphus cucullatus or more commonly known as the Dodo Bird.

But I am sure you don't want to hear about the common ones. So I decided to look up some unique ones for you.

http://thewebsiteofeverything.com/img/Tasmanian_wolf_or_thylacine.jpg This strange looking animal known as Thylacinus cynocephalus or commonly known as the Tasmanian Wolf or Tasmanian Tiger went extinct in 1936. Strange looking creature in my opinion.

http://www.rainforestinfo.org.au/spp/Schouten/LESSER_BILLY.jpg

This small creature is known as Macrotis leucura or commonly known as Lesser bilby. It went extinct in 1950.

I hope you enjoyed my research. (^_^)V

This list is only mammals. Also, I find it suspect, that's only a blog as a source.
