Extinct genus of fishes
Eocoelopoma (meaning "dawn hollow-cover" in Greek) is an extinct genus of prehistoric scombrid fish, related to mackerels and tunas, known from the Eocene of Eurasia. It contains several species known from the Early Eocene of England and Turkmenistan.
The genus name originates from "Coelopoma", coined as a "nomen nudum" by Agassiz (1844). Two species in the genus were also named by Agassiz as "nomina nuda", until they were given by Woodward (1901).
The following species are known:
The former species "E. hopwoodi" has been reassigned to its own genus, "Micrornatus".
