Teudopsis is a genus of the coleoid cephalopod family Teudopsidae, known only from Lower Jurassic gladii.[2] It has been reported from Alberta, Canada[2] and Europe. During the Early Torcian period, the T. bollensis, T. bunelii, and T. subcostata all inhabited European seas. [3] The differences in the anterior median field differentiates the three species. [3] The life appearance of Teudopsis is probably best inferred by its close relative Trachyteuthis. A fossil with soft tissue preservation shows that this animal may have had two mantle fins, which may also be the case for Teudopsis.[4][3]
