Eubiodectes
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
Eubiodectes is an extinct genus of marine ray-finned fish that lived during the Late Cretaceous. It contains a single species, E. libanicus, known from well-preserved fossils from the Cenomanian-aged Sannine Formation of Lebanon[1][2] It was a member of the Ichthyodectiformes, famously known as "bulldog fishes".[3]

It was originally described as Chirocentrites libanicus, then later moved to Ichthyodectes libanicus. It was moved to its own genus in 1903. Clupea gigantea Heckel, 1849, a species described earlier based on an indeterminate partial specimen, may be synonymous.[4]
