Maghriboselache

Maghriboselache is an extinct genus of cladoselachid symmoriiform fish that lived 369 million years ago during the Late Devonian (middle Famennian stage) of Morocco.

Maghriboselache represents the first cladoselachid to be discovered with significant details of the jaws, braincase and even endocranium.

The genus was described by Klug, Coates, Frey, Greif, Jobbins, Pohle, Lagnaoui, Haouz and Ginter in 2023.

It is unique from other cartilaginous fish (Chondrichthyes) due to its broad snout and nostril placement.

[1] Klug et al. (2023) recovered Maghriboselache as a cladoselachid member of the chondrichthyian clade Symmoriiformes, as the sister taxon to Cladoselache.
