Ceratodus (from Greek: κέρας kéras, 'horn' and Greek: ὀδούς odoús 'tooth')[2] is an extinct genus of lungfish. It has been described as a "catch all",[3] and a "form genus"[4] used to refer to the remains (typically toothplates) of a variety of lungfish belonging to the extinct family Ceratodontidae. Fossil evidence dates back to the Early Triassic.[5] A wide range of fossil species from different time periods have been found around the world in places such as the United States , Argentina , Greenland, England , Germany , Egypt, Madagascar , China , and Australia .[6] Ceratodus is believed to have become extinct sometime around the beginning of the Eocene Epoch.
