Sandalodus is an extinct genus of cartilaginous fish from the Late Devonian, Carboniferous and Permian periods.[1] It was named by John Strong Newberry and Amos Henry Worthen in 1866.[2] Charles Eastman classified the genus as a member of Cochliodontidae in 1903,[3]: 196 which has been followed by subsequent authors.[1][4] Some species of the genus have been found to belong to the same animal as Deltodus, and the genus' validity has been questioned.[4]
