	Goblin shark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When the jaws are retracted, the shark resembles a pink grey nurse shark (Carcharias taurus) with an unusually long nose.
		The goblin shark is the sole known living member of the family Mitsukurinidae; the relatively plentiful fossil record includes another two dozen or so species in two (extinct) genera, Scapanorhynchus and Anomotodon.
		Only about 45 specimens have been described in the scientific literature.

	ELASMO.COM Fossil Genera: Striatolamia
		Cunningham (2000) provided an extensive study of Striatolamia teeth, which can in most cases, help differentiate these teeth from other sand tigers, yet showed the dentition itself to be more similar to the odontaspids rather than mitsukurinids.
		In contrast to Striatolamia, the striations on Scapanorhynchus tend to be stronger and extend beyond the basal margin of the crown's enameloid.

		Mitsukuri took the specimen with him to the United States where he was attending an International Fur Seal Conference and requested Jordan identify and describe it.
		The specimen, a 1.7m young male became the type specimen of a completely new family of lamnoid sharks, which Jordan named Mitsukurinidae in honour of the Japanese Professor.
		He gave the shark the species name Mitsukurina owstoni in 1898.
