Enchoteuthis (meaning "spear squid") is an extinct genus of large enchoteuthine cephalopod that lived during the Cretaceous. Although it and its relative Tusoteuthis are often compared to squid, both are now thought to be more closely related to modern octopuses. Examination of gladius remains initially yielded an estimated mantle length about Шаблон:Cvt based on specimen once described as Tusoteuthis longa, close to or equal to that of the modern giant squid, although reclassification of this genus as a muensterelloid results in a much shorter total length, about Шаблон:Cvt. Three species are currently recognized as valid: E. melanae, E. tonii, and E. cobbani.[1]

Etymology

The generic name Enchoteuthis is derived from the Greek enchos ("spear") and teuthis ("squid").[2] The specific name melanae honors Melanie Bonner, who discovered the holotype.[2] E. cobbani is named after William Cobban.[3]

Distribution

E. melanae and E. cobbani are both known from the Late Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway of North America, with specimens found in Kansas, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Manitoba.[3][1] E. tonii is known from the Early Cretaceous Eromanga Seaway of Australia.[4][1] An additional unnamed species is known from the Late Cretaceous Paleo-Pacific Ocean of North America, specifically British Columbia and Alaska.[1][5]
