'''''Apateodus''''' (meaning "confusing tooth") is a genus of prehistoric [[Actinopterygii|ray-finned fish]] which was described by [[Arthur Smith Woodward|Woodward]] in 1901. The genus spans from the [[Albian]] to the late [[Maastrichtian]], and specimens have been found in Russia, India, the United States (Colorado, Dakota, Kansas), and the Netherlands.<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
Known by well preserved skull remains, '''''Apateodus''''' is estimated to be around 1 meter (3.3ft) in length, and would have been an effective [[mesopredator]].<br />
