Chauliodus eximius, originally described in 1925 as Eostomias eximius, is an extinct species of viperfish in the family Stomiidae, known from marine Late Miocene (Tortonian)-aged strata of Southern California. It inhabited deepwater habitats, as with modern viperfish, and is known from the Monterey, Modelo, and Puente Formations, all of which were originally deposited in an abyssal environment before being brought to the surface by tectonic activity.[1][2]
