Biology:Ardiodus
From HandWiki
Ardiodus is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine scombroid fish from the late Paleocene (Thanetian) to the early Eocene (Ypresian). It contains a single known species, A. mariotti from the London Clay formation of the United Kingdom and the Ouled Abdoun Basin of Morocco.[1][2]
It is only known from its teeth, which show similarities to Gempylidae, Trichiuridae, Scomberomorini, and the extinct Eocoelopoma. Thus, it is likely to be a scombroid, although its exact placement is uncertain.[2]
