Turseodus is an extinct genus of ray-finned fish found in Late Triassic freshwater sediments of the United States.[2][3] Two species have been described, T. acutus from the Lockatong Formation (Carnian stage) of Pennsylvania, and T. dolorensis from the Chinle Formation (Norian stage) of Colorado.[4]
