Acrodus (from Template:Lang-el ákros, 'high' and Template:Lang-el odoús 'tooth')^[1] is an extinct genus of hybodont from the Triassic to the Early Cretaceous.^[2] It was durophagous, with blunt, broad teeth designed for crushing and grinding.^[3] Some Middle Triassic species have been suggested to have grown to lengths of 1.8–2.5 metres (5.9–8.2 ft).^[4]
