	Myliobatiformes: Stingrays
		Myliobatiform rays include some of the largest and most notorious batoids.
		As a group, the myliobatiform rays are regarded as the most derived ('advanced') of batoids.
		Named for the way underwater sunlight shimmers from the dermal denticles studding their yellowish-brown skin, these Golden Cownose Ray (Rhinoptera steindachneri) were photographed off the Galapagos Islands.

		The Orectolobiformes, Carcharhiniformes and Myliobatiformes (Elasmobranchii, Neoselachii) of phosphate basins of Morocco (Maastrichtian-Early Lutetian.
		Systematics, biostratigraphy, evolution and faunal dynamics.The phosphate series of Morocco (Early Maastrichtian-Early Ypresian) is well known for its richness in selachian teeth studied by ARAMBOURG in an important monograph in 1952.
		The object of the present account is the revision of two shark orders (Orectolobiformes and Carcharhiniformes) and of one ray order (Myliobatiformes) which appearvery diversified and rich in new taxa.

	Batoids
		Skate egg cases are often rectangular with elongated tendrils at each corner, which serve to anchor them to bottom growth (washed ashore, the empty cases are known as "mermaid's purses").
		Fetal electric rays (Torpediniformes) are nourished by protein-rich secretions from the uterine wall, while fetal stingrays (Myliobatiformes) get their nourishment delivered to them via secretions from pseudo-placentae that enter their bodies through the spiracles.
		Most batoids are benthic, lying on the substrate for extended periods, often partially buried.

	Eagle ray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eagle rays feed on snails, mussels and crustaceans, crushing their shells with extremely hard teeth.
		The taxonomy of this group is uncertain; sometimes it is placed in the order Myliobatiformes.
		Here we follow FishBase and place it in the order Rajiformes with other rays.

	The World
		Myliobatiformes are basically stingrays and eaglerays; Myliobatiformes is one of the many orders within Chondrichthyes.
		Live in temperate to tropical zones of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans; most species are marine, but some enter brackish or fresh waters and the river stingrays are exclusively freshwater inhabitants, having lost the ability to osmoregulate in the sea
		Myliobatiforme rays include some of the largest and most notorious batoids.

	North Carolina Waterman
		Since skates do not have stinging spines, they rely on large thorns on their backs and tails to deter predators.
		In all, there are seven main families of rays in the Order Myliobatiformes, including stingrays, butterfly rays, devil rays, eagle rays, river rays, round stingrays and six-gill rays.
		Some of the individual species common off the North Carolina coast are the smooth butterfly ray (Gymnura micura), the spotted eagle ray (Aetobatus narinari), the cownose ray (Rhinoptera bonasus) and the southern stingray (Dasyatis americana).

		The Manta Ray is the sole member of the Manta genus.
