| S. Stumpf et al. 2019 | Pseudoscyliorhinid shark showing the following unique combination of morphological characters: presence of a supraorbital crest above the orbit; possession of an antorbital and postorbital wall delimiting the orbit anteriorly and poster- iorly, respectively; presence of a small postorbital process and a distinct sphenopterotic ridge; Meckel’s cartilage rather slender and anteroposteriorly elongated; vertebrae of cyclospondylic type and strongly hourglass-shaped without ornamentation; orthodont-type teeth; tooth crown with prominent, lingually inclined main cusp that is flanked by a single pair of short, pointed lateral cusplets; cusp and lateral cusplets with continuous, weakly developed cutting edges; absence of tooth crown orna- mentation; teeth of lateral and posterior positions with distally inclined main cusp forming oblique cutting edges that reach about one-third of the way to the apex of the cusp; oblique presence of low roots with very flat and flared basal faces forming no ‘V’-shaped lobes. |
