Harriotta lehmani

Harriotta lehmani is an extinct species of ghost shark from the genus Harriotta. This fossil fish fills a gap in chimaeroids in the Cretaceous fish beds of Lebanon. It was first discovered by a French Expedition in 1946. The distinguishing characteristics include a paired cartilage structure in the rostrum as well as two dorsal fins. The skull structure of Harriotta lehmani reflects the structure of Rhinochimaeridae family and it has a plate in the jaw palate similar to the modern Harriotta genus.
