Trewavasia carinata is an extinct pycnodontid fish in the family Coccodontidae[1] that lived during the lower Cenomanian of what is now Lebanon.[2] It had a large, forward-pointing horn-like spine between its eyes, and a massive stump-like spine emanating from the back of its head. T. carinata is closely related the genera Corusichthys and Hensodon, as well as Coccodus.
