Telodontaspis is an extinct genus of cartilaginous fish. The type species, T. agassizensis, was described from the Cenomanian period of Canada by Charlie J. Underwood and Stephen L. Cumbaa in 2010.[1] Newbrey et al. (2013) considered this genus to be a junior synonym of the genus Cretoxyrhina, though they maintained the species T. agassizensis as a separate species within the genus Cretoxyrhina.[2]
