Apeirodon

Apeirodon refers to a genus of extinct pycnodont fish that lived during the Late Cretaceous period. Fossils of Apeirodon have been found in locations like present-day Lebanon.

Apeirodon is characterized by its deep, laterally compressed body, typical of pycnodonts. Like other members of its order, it possessed a crushing dentition adapted for feeding on hard-shelled invertebrates. The specific characteristics that define the genus differentiate it from other pycnodont genera, although detailed osteological descriptions may vary depending on the source.

The classification and exact relationships of Apeirodon within the Pycnodontiformes have been subject to revisions as new discoveries and analyses are made. The genus contributes to our understanding of the diversity and paleoecology of marine environments during the Late Cretaceous.
