Sclerorhynchoidei is an extinct suborder of rajiform rays that had long rostra with large denticles similar to sawfishes and sawsharks.
This feature was convergently evolved, recently proposed as 'pristification',[7] and their closest living relatives are actually skates.
[8][9][10] While they are often called "sawfishes", sawskates is a more accurate common name proposed in 2021 for sclerorhynchoids,[11] which has been subsequently used by other researchers.
[15][16] One female specimen of Libanopristis with nine embryos preserved in situ represents one of the first fossil evidence of batoid ovoviviparity.
