Dercetoides (meaning "resemblant of Dercetis ") is a genus of prehistoric marine ray-finned fish from the Late Cretaceous period. [1] [2] It contains a single species, D. venator, known from the early Cenomanian-aged Amminadav Formation of the West Bank, Palestine. [1] It was a member of the Dercetidae, a group of elongated aulopiforms that were related to modern lancetfish and lizardfish. [3]
