Retodus

Retodus is an extinct genus of prehistoric lungfish found in Cretaceous-aged freshwater strata of Egypt (Baharija Formation), Algeria and Niger.

[1][2] The type species, R. tuberculatus, was named in 2006.

[3][4] It was originally named as a species of Ceratodus and Neoceratodus in 1963.

[5] Tooth plates of R. tuberculatus are characterised by four transverse ridges, broadly rounded crests, a reticular pattern of ridges and hollows, and large adult size.
