Galeocerdo is a genus of
Carcharhinidae, it is currently considered to be the only member of the family Galeocerdonidae.[3] While this genus was historically considered diverse, including 21 extinct species, morphometric analysis conducted in 2021 suggested that the diversity of the genus included only 5 extinct species (including the Eocene †G. clarkensis and †G. eaglesomei, Oligocene-late Miocene †G. aduncus, Miocene †G. mayumbensis, and Pliocene †G. capellinii) much lower than previously assumed. The oldest fossils of the extant G. cuvier date to the middle Miocene.[2]
