Asterodermus (from Greek: ἀστήρ aster, 'star' and Greek: δέρμα dérma, 'skin')[1] is an extinct genus of asterodermid rays from the Jurassic period.[2] A single species, A. platypterus, is described. It is known mainly from the early Tithonian of Germany, including the famous Lagerstätte site of Solnhofen.[3][4] Additionally, Asterodermus scales have been found among articulated skeletons of neoselachians from the Tithonian of southern Germany.[5]
