Ichthyoceros spinosus is an extinct pycnodontid that lived during the lower Cenomanian of what is now Lebanon.[1] I. spinosus had a triple, forward-pointing horn-like spine between its eyes, very similar to the single spine of Trewavasia, and a massive, multipointed spine emanating from back of its head.
