Galeorhinus cuvieri (named after Georges Cuvier) is an extinct species of houndshark known from the Early Eocene-aged Monte Bolca site of Italy.

As reef-dwelling populations of the modern school shark also show a preference for feeding on barracudas, this suggests a long history of predator-prey interactions between these two genera.

[4] Cappetta (1975) re-analyzed the Bolca sharks and divided them between Eogaleus and Protogaleus cuvieri, which he recognized as a species of Galeorhinus.

[1] However, later authors, including Cappetta, disputed the placement of this species in the extant Galeorhinus, and instead placed it in the extinct Physogaleus, otherwise known only from teeth.

[5] In a comprehensive analysis, Federico et al (2016) affirmed G. cuvieri as being a member of Galeorhinus, noting its strong morphological similarities and dentition to the school shark.
