Scapanorhynchus (from Greek: σκάφιου scaphion, 'shovel' and Greek: ῥύγχος rhynchos 'snout')[3] is an extinct genus of goblin shark that lived during the Cretaceous period, from the Aptian to the end of the Maastrichtian.[1][2] Later records, such as those from the Miocene assigned to the species S. subulatus, are highly dubious and may be misidentified sand sharks.[2][4][5]
It was the first goblin shark to be described, with the type species (S. lewisii) being described nearly 10 years before the living goblin shark (Mitsukurina).
