Paleotriakis is a genus of ground sharks that lived in the Late Cretaceous period of France.[1]
Species[edit]
This genus includes two species that are originally described as species of Paratriakis.
- Palaeotriakis curtirostris (Davis, 1887)
- Palaeotriakis subserratus (Underwood & Ward, 2008)
However, for P. curtirostris, later studies still support its classification as a species of Paratriakis.[2][3]
