Caturidae is an extinct family of predatory fishes belonging to the order Amiiformes (which contains the modern bowfin). The earliest members of the family appeared in the early Late Triassic, reaching an apex of diversity during the Jurassic. The youngest records of the group date to the Early Cretaceous.[1] Members of the family include Caturus, Strobilodus, Amblysemius, and Catutoichthys.[2]
