Pycnodontiforms, are extinct fishes of the class Actinopterygii, containing the genus Pycnodus, were common in the Jurassic seas of 200 million to 146 million years ago. They were small to middle-sized fish, with laterally compressed bodies, and an almost circular outline. Pycnodontiform fishes lived mostly in shallow-water seas. They had special jaws with round and flattened teeth, well adapted to crush food items. Some species lived in rivers and possibly fed on mollusks and crustaceans.
