Cardabiodon is an extinct genus of lamniform shark, which existed in Australia, Canada, and Europe during the Cretaceous period.[1] It was first named by Michael Siverson in 1999,[2] and contains the species Cardabiodon ricki. Cardabiodon ricki first occurred in the late Cenomanian of Alberta, Canada, and is hypothesized in published literature to have a antitropical distribution. [1]
