Caseodus is an

eugeneodontid holocephalian from the Carboniferous of the United States (Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, South Dakota) and the Early Triassic of Canada (British Columbia).^[2] It was of medium size, measuring 1–1.5 m (3.3–4.9 ft) in length.^[3]^[4]

end-Permian mass extinction event. It is one of the last surviving genera of this clade.^[4]

Caseodus is named after the late paleoichthyologist Gerard Case.[5]
