''Eosqualodon'' is a genus of squalodontid odontocete from the Late Oligocene to Early Miocene (Chattian-Aquitanian) of northwestern Germany and northeastern Italy.

Taxonomy and description

Two species are recognized, ''E. langewieschei'' and ''E. latirostris''. The latter was originally described as a subspecies of ''Squalodon bariensis'', ''S. b. latirostris'', but is distinct from ''S. bariensis''. ''Eosqualodon'' can be distinguished from '' Squalodon'' in having a broader rostral base, the caudal border of the external nares (blowhole) at the height of the caudal part of the orbits, and weakly developed intertemporal construction.G.
