Onychodontiformes - Onychodontidae

Taxonomy
Luckeus abudda was named by Young and Schultze (2005) [An onychodontid in which the lower jaw dentition comprises a main row of larger lingually curved anteroposteriorly compressed teeth alternating with sockets of subrectangular shape, a lateral row of smaller teeth alternating with tooth sockets in a less regular pattern, and an outer marginal laterally projecting ridge of crowded denticles, some enlarged as curved small teeth; inner dentary ridge reduced in thickness anterior to tooth row; anterior part of Meckel’s cartilage perichondrally ossified, and with a deep fossa for the parasymphysial tooth whorl with minimal dermal attachment. Jaw symphysis with combined cartilaginous and dermal connection. Parasymphysial teeth with a barbed tip and striated at a density of 30–50/mm.]. It is not extant. Its type specimen is ANU V2969, a mandible (left lower jaw). Its type locality is Luckeus-type locality, which is in an Emsian/Eifelian marine limestone in the Cravens Peak Limestone Formation of Australia.
