Eomuraena

Eomuraena ("dawn Muraena") is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine moray eel that lived during the lower Eocene, with potential Late Cretaceous records also known. It contains a single species, E. sagittidens.

Definitive records of E. sagittidens are only known from fossil neurocrania in Early Eocene-aged sediments on the German island of Fehmarn. However, the teeth of a similar fish (referred to as Eomuraena cf. sagittidens) are known from marine-brackish sediments in the late Maastrichtian-aged Lameta Formation and freshwater sediments in the Early Paleocene-aged Intertrappean Beds of India.
