Casterolimulus is an extinct genus of xiphosuran.[1] It is known from the Late Cretaceous Fox Hills Formation of North America, and is believed to have lived in freshwater environments. It belongs to the family Limulidae, and is considered a close relative of Victalimulus, which is from the Early Cretaceous of Australia.[2]
