Editing Angelshark (section)

== Evolution ==
The earliest members of the [[Squatiniformes]] are known from the Late Jurassic (from around 160 million years ago) of Europe, assigned to the genus ''[[Pseudorhina]].'' Preserved full body specimens of ''Pseudorhina'' are very similar to those of living ''Squatina'' species.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=López-Romero |first1=Faviel A. |last2=Stumpf |first2=Sebastian |last3=Pfaff |first3=Cathrin |last4=Marramà |first4=Giuseppe |last5=Johanson |first5=Zerina |last6=Kriwet |first6=Jürgen |date=2020-07-28 |title=Evolutionary trends of the conserved neurocranium shape in angel sharks (Squatiniformes, Elasmobranchii) |journal=Scientific Reports |language=en |volume=10 |issue=1 |page=12582 |doi=10.1038/s41598-020-69525-7 |issn=2045-2322 |pmc=7387474 |pmid=32724124 |bibcode=2020NatSR..1012582L }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Villalobos-Segura |first1=Eduardo |last2=Stumpf |first2=Sebastian |last3=Türtscher |first3=Julia |last4=Jambura |first4=Patrick L. |last5=Begat |first5=Arnaud |last6=López-Romero |first6=Faviel A. |last7=Fischer |first7=Jan |last8=Kriwet |first8=Jürgen |date=March 2023 |title=A Synoptic Review of the Cartilaginous Fishes (Chondrichthyes: Holocephali, Elasmobranchii) from the Upper Jurassic Konservat-Lagerstätten of Southern Germany: Taxonomy, Diversity, and Faunal Relationships |journal=Diversity |language=en |volume=15 |issue=3 |pages=386 |doi=10.3390/d15030386 |doi-access=free |pmid=36950327 |issn=1424-2818|pmc=7614348 }}</ref> The earliest records that can be assigned with confidence to the modern genus are known from the Early Cretaceous ([[Aptian]]) of England.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Klug |first1=Stefanie |last2=Kriwet |first2=Jürgen |date=January 2013 |title=Node age estimations and the origin of angel sharks, Squatiniformes (Neoselachii, Squalomorphii) |url=http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14772019.2012.674066 |journal=Journal of Systematic Palaeontology |language=en |volume=11 |issue=1 |pages=91–110 |doi=10.1080/14772019.2012.674066 |bibcode=2013JSPal..11...91K |issn=1477-2019}}</ref>
