Goudkoffia is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish that lived during the Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous epoch.[1] It is only known from isolated fossil scales recovered from drill cores in the Moreno and Panoche Formations of southern California, US.[2]
It was initially described in the order Salmoniformes, but the assignment of most former Cretaceous "salmoniforms" to this order is now disputed.[3]
