Fadenia


Fadenia is an extinct genus of eugeneodontid holocephalian chondrichthyan from the Carboniferous Period of Missouri, the Permian period of Greenland, and the Early Triassic epoch of Greenland and Sulphur Mountain Formation of British Columbia, Canada.
Eugeneodontida are an extinct order of Chondrichthyes. They are characterized by the presence of tooth whorls. They include iconic genera, such as Helicoprion, Ornithoprion, Edestus or Caseodus. Fadenia is one of the few eugeneodontid genera that survived the end-Permian mass extinction event. It is one of the last surviving genera of this clade. It could reach about in length.
