Extinct genus of fishes
Casierius is an extinct genus of marine
ray-finned fish that lived during the
Albian stage of the
Early Cretaceous epoch.
[1] It was a relative of the modern
bonefish in the extinct family
Phyllodontidae, although some authorities consider it either a true
albulid (making it even more closely related to bonefish) or a very early
eel.

[5] It contains a single species, C. heckeli, known from the
Glen Rose Formation near
Hood County, Texas.
