Extinct genus of fishes
Phyllodus is an extinct genus of bony fish from the Maastrichtian to Middle Miocene . Fossils of the genus have been found in the Maastrichtian to Danian Hell Creek Formation , the Eocene London Clay , the Early eocene Nanjemoy formation .[ 1] [ 2] and the Paleocene of South Carolina .[ 3]
Classification
It was assigned to Actinopteri by Cope (1875);[ 4] to Phyllodontinae by Estes and Hiatt (1978);[ 5] to Labridae by Hay (1902),[ 6] Leriche (1942),[ 7] Rapp (1946) and Thurmond and Jones (1981);[ 8] to Anguilliformes by Sepkoski (2002); and to Phyllodontidae by Casier (1946),[ 9] Casier (1966),[ 10] Bryant (1989),[ 11] Weems (1998),[ 12] Weems (1999)[ 13] and Ebersole et al.
