Enchelurus
Enchelurus is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish that lived during the Late Cretaceous. It contains three species, known from the Cenomanian to Campanian of Europe and the Middle East.
The following species are known:E. anglicus Woodward, 1901 - mid-late Cenomanian of England E. syriacus Woodward, 1901 - Santonian of Lebanon E. villosus von der Marck, 1863 - Campanian of Germany
Its taxonomic affinity remains uncertain; it was initially classified as an early halosaur in the order Notacanthiformes, and continues to be treated as such by some authorities. However, other studies have found it to be an elopomorph related to the common ancestor of Anguilliformes and Notacanthiformes, or even an early anguilliform itself.
