Fossils have been found in eastern Canada, Britain (England and Scotland), and Queensland, Australia; indeterminate species of Strepsodus have also been found in the late Devonian deposits of Turkey, Iran and Colombia.{{cite journal|author1=Johanson Z.|author2=Turner S.|author3=Warren A.|year=2000|title=First East Gondwanan record of Strepsodus (Sarcopterygii, Rhizodontida) from the Lower Carboniferous Ducabrook Formation, central Queensland, Australia|journal=Geodiversitas|volume=22|issue=2|pages=161–169|url=https://sciencepress.mnhn.fr/sites/default/files/articles/pdf/g2000n2a1.pdf}}{{cite journal|last=Jeffery|first=Jonathan E.|year=2006|title=The Carboniferous fish genera Strepsodus and Archichthys (Sarcopterygii: Rhizodontida): Clarifying 150 years of confusion|journal=Palaeontology|volume=49|issue=1|pages=113–132|doi=10.1111/j.1475-4983.2005.00531.x|doi-access=free}} A large individual is measured up to {{convert|3.5|m|ft|1}} long.
