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. 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.[3][4]
