Ptychoceratodus is an extinct genus of lungfish living from Early Triassic to Middle Jurassic. It was established by Otto Jaekel for one species (P. runcinatus), transferred from Ceratodus genus.[8] Type species is P. serratus from the Middle Triassic of Switzerland and Germany.[8][9] Ptychoceratodus had two pairs of massive dental plates, bearing 4-6 acute ridges. Its skull roof was composed from massive, plate-like bones. In the central part of skull roof was localized an unossified fenestra. Most of the Ptychoceratodus findings are isolated dental plates, some associated with jaws. Other parts of skull or postcranial skeleton are relatively rarely found as fossils. The anatomy of skull is the best recognized in P. serratus,[9] whereas less complete cranial material is available also for P. concinuus, P. phillipsi, and P. rectangulus.[10] Although Ptychoceratodus is known exclusively from the Triassic and Jurassic,[11] there were also Cretaceous specimens referred to this genus. However, they are more often regarded as representants of Metaceratodus.[12] Ptychoceratodus is the only member of the family Ptychoceratodontidae.[13][14] The first named species is P. phillipsi by Louis Agassiz in 1837 as a species of Ceratodus and later moved to Ptychoceratodus genus.[6] Occurrences of Ptychoceratodus come mainly from Europe.[15][8] However, occurrences from other continents suggest it was dispersed globally during the Triassic.[15] After 2010, the new fossil material behind the Europe was reported from South America,[16] India,[5] and Greenland[10]
