Eurypholis
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Eurypholis (meaning "broad scale") is a genus of prehistoric marine aulopiform fish known from the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian to Campanian). It contains three species, known from Europe, the Middle East, and east Asia.[1][2]
The following species are known:[1][2][3]
- †E. boissieri Pictet, 1850 (type species) - Cenomanian of Lebanon (Sannine Formation) (=E. sulcidens Pictet, 1850)
- †E. japonicus Uyeno & Minakawa, 1983 - Campanian of Shikoku, Japan (Izumi Group)[4]
- †E. pulchellus (Woodward, 1901) - Cenomanian of England (English Chalk) (=Enchodus pulchellus Woodward, 1901)[5][6]
Potential indeterminate remains are known from the Cenomanian of Uzbekistan and the Maastrichtian of Greece, though a review of the Greek records has found no evidence of these remains belonging to Eurypholis.[2][7]
Of these species, E. boissieri is known from many complete, articulated skeletons, E. pulchellus is known from fragmentary specimens, and E. japonicus is known from a single mandible (closely resembling that of pulchellus) with very large attached teeth.[1][4][5]
