Apateodus ray-finned fish which was described by Woodward in 1901. It was a relative of modern lizardfish and lancetfish in the order Aulopiformes , and one of a number of prominent nektonic aulopiforms of Cretaceous marine ecosystems.[1] [2]
The genus spans from the Albian to the late Maastrichtian , and appears to have been distributed worldwide; specimens have been found in Russia, India, the United States (Colorado, South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas), Canada, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.[1]
Taxonomy
[ edit ]
Apateodus has generally been placed in the suborder Enchodontoidei alongside most other Cretaceous nektonic aulopiforms, although its affinities have long been uncertain. However, since the 2000s, it has generally been placed in the family Ichthyotringidae .[3] [4] barracudinas , the latter two of which have been contradicted by anatomical studies.[3] [5] [6] [7]
The following species are known:[1] [2]
†?A. assisi Schwarzans, Huddlestone & Takeuchi, 2018 - Santonian of Alabama , USA[8]
†A. busseni Franz & Shimada, 2009 - Coniacian of Kansas , USA
†A. corneti (Forir, 1887) - Maastrichtian of the Netherlands
†A. crenellatus Schwarzans & Stringer, 2020 - Maastrichtian of Mississippi , USA[9]
†A. glyphodus (Blake, 1863) - Albian of the United Kingdom
†A. lanceolatus Woodward , 1901Cenomanian of the United Kingdom
†A. striatus Woodward, 1901 - Cenomanian of the United Kingdom, Cenomanian-Turonian of Germany,[10]
Indeterminate remains are known from Canada (Alberta ), Russia (Belgorod ), and the United States (Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, and South Dakota).[1] Apateodus was identified in 2020 from fossils from Kansas.[11]
Description
[ edit ]
Known by well preserved skull remains, Apateodus is estimated to be around 1 meter (3.3ft) in length, and would have been an effective mesopredator .[2]
