) is a small tooth with preserved crown and root. The crown is relatively high and triangular in labial view without lateral cusplets. There are also no lateral heels. The crown is rather compressed labiolingually. The labial face is almost flat and only slightly cambered toward the lower part of the crown. There is a distinct, labially projecting protuberance with rectangular outline in labial view. A root buttress or the root itself does not support the protuberance. In lateral view, the welldeveloped protuberance juts labially being almost horizontal. The base of the tooth crown is concave in labial view and overhangs the root slightly. The cutting edge is well developed. It displays a few very coarse, irregular indentations giving the cutting edge a coarsely serrated, leaflike appearance. The serrations are very coarse basally. The lingual face is more convex. There is no median uvula and the neck collar is very thin, nearly absent. There is no crown ornament or sculpture developed.

In lateral view the root is more or less perpendicular to the tooth crown. The root lobes are slightly flared creating a faintly notched crown/root junction in labial view. In basal view, the root is Vshaped with a wellmarked labial depression. The root lobes meet lingually to form a massive and broad lingual protuberance. A rather large mediolingual foramen is present opening in the basal portion of the protuberance. The central foramen is small. There are two pairs of marginolateral foramina. A rather large foramen opens basally on the surface of one of the root lobes.</paragraph>

). This resulted in a taxonomic lumping of similar morphotypes. Leidner and Thies (1999) already pointed out that there might be more genera of squatiniforms present in the Late Jurassic. But the identification of isolated orectolobiform teeth from the Cretaceous and Jurassic also might cause problems. As a result, the true specific composition of orectolobiforms and squatiniforms in the Jurassic and also in the Cretaceous is probably obscured. The teeth of extant squatiniforms and orectolobiforms share some very important features so that

and the new taxon is the absence of lateral heels, the presence of a welldeveloped labial root depression and the labial protuberance, which is not supported by the root but well detached from the root depression. Unfortunately, the taxonomy of Jurassic orectolobiforms is still not fully understood. Consequently, the new genus is assigned to

.—Two very small isolated tooth crowns resemble those found in orectolobiform sharks. Both specimens are damaged and completely lack the root. The crowns are broadened mesiodistally with a very convex basal edge in labial view giving specimen SMNS 87863 a daggerlike appearance. The main cusp of this specimen is rather short and slender. There is a pair of small, slender and pointed lateral cusplets diverging slightly from the main cusp. The cutting edge is continuous between main and lateral cusplets. The labial crown face is narrow in lateral aspect.

However, the basal edge of the labial face seems to be straighter and the main cusp is slightly bent distally. This may indicate a lateral jaw position whereas specimen SMNS 87863 might come from an anterior to anterolateral position. Both tooth crowns are completely smooth.</paragraph>

Both specimens are very small and have been recovered only because of using a very small mesh width during sieving. Whether they represent teeth of juvenile or adult specimens is not discernable. Because of the small size, at least specimen SMNS 87864 may represent a juvenile specimen.</paragraph>
