Gibbodon is an extinct genus of marine pycnodontid ray-finned fish from the Late Triassic of Europe.[1] It contains a single species, G. cenensis from the Norian-aged Zorzino Limestone of Cene, Italy. It was previously placed in its own family Gibbodontidae[2], but is now known to belong in the family Brembodontidae.[3]
It lived sympatrically with its close relative, Brembodus.
