Abstract

Paraorthacodus conicus (Davis, 1890) of the family Palaeospinacidae, but previously believed to be a mako shark (family Lamnidae), and P. andersoni (Case, 1978), until now reported only from the Judith River Formation of Montana, are both described from the Late Cretaceous of the Kristianstad Basin, southern Sweden. The name Synechodus nerviensis Leriche, 1929, is a junior synonym of P. conicus and Synechodus striatus Case, 1978, is likewise a junior synonym of P. andersoni.
