A new species of Vectiselachos (Chondrichthyes, Selachii) from the Early Cretaceous of southern England
Abstract
Teeth of a new species of hybodont shark Vectiselachos (Chondrichthyes: Lonchidiidae) are described from the late Aptian (Early Cretaceous) of southern England. Vectiselachos gosslingi sp. nov. has very distinctive coarse striations that form raised ridges over the occlusal surfaces of the crown.
