Arganodus is an extinct genus of Ceratodontidae (lungfish). It´s fossils where found first at Tizi n'Maâchou in the Marrakech area of Morocco, in rocks of the Timezgadiouine Formation, that belong to the Argana Group (hence the generic name).[1] Other specimens have been found in the Redonda Formation, New Mexico,[2] the Anoual Formation of Morocco,[3] the Tacuarembó Formation of Uruguay,[4] and the Cumnock Formation, North Carolina,[5] although the North Carolinian specimens are smaller than most recorded specimens.[5] Fossils have also been uncovered in the Petrified Forest National Park.[6] It was first named by Martin in 1979, and contains two species, A. dorotheae and A. atlantis. In 1984, Martin described Arganodus tiguidiensis from Elrhaz Formation of Niger extending its stratigraphic range from the Upper Jurassic to the Cenomanian.[7] Later, this species was assigned to the genus Asiatoceratodus by Kemp (1998).[8]

Paleoecology

Arganodus was probably similar to modern lungfish, and lived in underwater burrows during dry periods until monsoons occurred.[6]
