Indotrigonodon is a dubious form genus of prehistoric freshwater pycnodont fish that lived in India during the Late Cretaceous epoch.[1] It contains a single species, I. ovatus known from the Maastrichtian-aged Lameta Formation & Intertrappean Beds in Maharashtra & Andhra Pradesh.[2][3]
Alongside Stephanodus, Pisdurodon and Eotrigonodon, fossils of Indotrigonodon were initially identified as tooth plates from an early tetraodontiform fish.[3] However, later studies found all these "genera" to represent different remains of indeterminate pycnodont fish, with Indotrigonodon representing oral teeth.[2][4][5]
