Genus Triakis Müller and Henle, 1838 ? Triakis sp.

Tooth type: Clutching.

There are two teeth from Messkirch-Rengetsweiler that possibly belong to Triakis (see Höltke et al., 2022). They show similarities to recent T. scyllium Müller and Henle, 1839 and T. semifasciata Girard, 1855 (Herman et al., 1988). Both these extant species feature bony fishes and invertebrates in their diet and live near the bottom in the neritic realm (Ebert et al., 2021).
