Harriotta Neoharriotta Rhinochimaera The Rhinochimaeridae, commonly known as long-nosed chimaeras,[1] are a family of cartilaginous fish.

They are similar in form and habits to other chimaeras, but have an exceptionally long conical or paddle-shaped snout.

[2] The snout has numerous sensory nerve endings, and is used to find food such as small fish.

[4] Long-nosed chimaeras are found in temperate and tropical seas worldwide, from 200 to 2,000 m (660 to 6,560 ft) in depth.

[4] In August 2020, a long-nosed chimaera was brought up from 460 fathoms (2,760 ft; 840 m) off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland.
