Genus Scyliorhinus Blainville, 1816 Scyliorhinus fossilis (Leriche, 1927)

Tooth type: Clutching.

This genus contains different recent species, some with poorly-known biology (Compagno et al., 2005; Froese and Pauly, 2019). Cortés (1999) mentioned bony fishes, cephalopods and crustaceans as staple food for five of the extant species and gave a TL of 4.0 to four of them [3.6 to S. canicula (Linnaeus, 1758) ]. Members of this demersal genus live between 1 and 825 m depth (Ebert et al., 2021).
