“…Although the genus is currently thought to belong to Acipenseriformes (Parris et al, 2001(Parris et al, , 2007, previous researchers have suggested that Cylindracanthus may have belonged to Aulopiformes, with affinities to Dercetidae or Blochiidae (Fierstine, 1974;Schultz, 1987;Weems, 1999;Swift and Wing, 2001). Parris et al (2001Parris et al ( , 2007 supported their viewpoint by indicating that the presence of tooth remains along rostral fragments in recently recovered specimens are similar to those of modern Acipenser and Polyodon. Further reinforcement of their interpretation that Cylindracanthus had a cartilaginous skeletal anatomy, as seen in modern Acipenser and Polyodon, is the general absence of other fossil bony elements that can be definitively assigned to the genus.…”

“…Discussion-Enchodus ferox palatine teeth can be distinguished from those of co-occuring Enchodus by the absence of a post-apical barb, full anterior and posterior cutting edges, wide base, and straight tooth form (Goody, 1976;Robb, 2004;Parris et al, 2007). Enchodus ferox has been well documented from the Late Cretaceous of North America (e.g., Gallagher, 1993;Hartstein et al, 1999;Robb, 2004;Schein and Lewis, 2007;Parris et al, 2007).…”

According to Goody (1976) and Parris et al (2007), Enchodus ferox survived the Cretaceous-Paleocene mass extinction and has a known chronological range from the Campanian through the Eocene. Two additional North American species of Enchodus, Enchodus pressidens Cope, 1869, andEnchodus serrulatus Fowler, 1911, have been considered junior synonyms for Enchodus ferox Leidy, 1855(Goody, 1976.…”

“…Over the last half a century, the number of North American locations preserving Upper Cretaceous osteichthyan faunas has steadily grown and most states and provinces inundated by Late Cretaceous sea level incursion contain some report of osteichthyans (e.g., Estes, 1964;Bardack, 1968;Thurmond and Jones, 1981;Case and Schwimmer, 1988;Hartstein et al, 1999;Hoganson and Murphy, 2002;Shimada and Fielitz, 2006;Parris et al, 2007). A survey of many Late Cretaceous osteichthyan occurrences documents striking similarity in faunal assemblages.…”

A lag deposit that separates the underlying late Maastrichtian Arkadelphia Formation marl from the overlying Paleocene Midway Group limestone in Hot Spring County, Arkansas, U.S.A.., and Teleostei incertae sedis. Outcrop exposures of this lag deposit occur within the Ouachita River and are expressed as a series of partially submerged, steeply inclined fold limbs that strike obliquely to water flow. The co-occurring osteichthyans recovered in this study span a broad range of salinity tolerances, foraging behaviors, and dietary preferences. Concentration of these osteichthyans indicates transport, exhumation, and reburial associated with storm activity or sea level cyclicity across a shallow Late Cretaceous marine shelf. Arkadelphia-Midway osteichthyan taxa belong to groups that survive the Cretaceous-Paleocene extinction event.

The Hartland Shale Member of the Greenhorn Limestone was deposited in the middle of the Late Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway of North America. Rock samples rich in micro-vertebrate fossils were collected from the lower part of the Hartland Shale (ca. 94.6 Ma: early Late Cenomanian) in southeastern Colorado, USA. Through acid treatment of the rock samples, 25 marine vertebrate taxa are identified including chondrichthyans, osteichthyans, and a reptile. Chondrichthyans are represented by seven species: Ptychodus anonymus, Squalicorax curvatus, Carcharias saskatchewanensis, Archaeolamna kopingensis, Cretoxyrhina mantelli, Cretomanta canadensis, and Rhinobatos incertus. Osteichthyan fishes consist of 17 taxa: Micropycnodon kansasensis, cf. Palaeobalistum sp., Caturidae indet., Protosphyraena sp., Plethodidae indet., Elopopsis sp., Pachyrhizodus minimus, cf. Pachyrhizodus sp., Albulidae indet., Cimolichthys nepaholica, Enchodus cf. E. gladiolus, E. cf. E. shumardi, Apateodus sp., and four unidentified teleosts. The only reptilian recognized is the small aquatic lizard Coniasaurus crassidens (Dolichosauridae). The taxonomic composition of the Hartland Shale fauna is similar overall to the extensively sampled, underlying mid-Cenomanian Lincoln Limestone fauna in Colorado and Kansas, although the occurrence of Apateodus and Cimolichthys from the Hartland Shale is notable as they represent geologically the oldest record for the two genera. The vertebrates identified are mostly carnivores that include piscivorous and durophagous forms, providing new insights into the trophic structure of the palaeocommunity.
