Enchodontidae.

About Enchodontidae

Enchodontidae is an extinct family of marine enchodontoid aulopiform ray-finned fish from the Cretaceous to potentially the Eocene, being found worldwide. The family itself was diverse within its body form though unlike other enchodontoids, most genera within the family possessed rows of scutes behind the head and sides of the body. Like a large amount of extinct groups, the origin of enchodontids have remained obscured though this is mostly due to a large diversification event that happened in the Late Aptian to Middle Cenomanian. Though the family is diverse in their range and anatomy, all known members were predatory with most living in more shallow, near-shore environments.
