Concavotectum is an extinct genus of tselfatiiforme bony fish that lived during the Cenomanian in Morocco and possibly Egypt.[1][2] It was discovered and named in 2008 and is known from a single well preserved hand-sized skull and a few isolated vertebrae discovered in the Kem Kem Group (Gara Sbaa Formation).[3][1][4] The type species, C. moroccensis, was named in 2008[4] and described in 2010.[1]A possible second specimen, found in the Baharija Formation, consists of a single destroyed in 1940 during World War II. It is currently the holotype of the possibly synonymous Paranogmius.
