Maghriboselache is an extinct genus of cladoselachid symmoriiform fish that lived 369 million years ago during the Late Devonian (middle Famennian stage) of Morocco. The genus contains a single species, M. mohmezanei. Maghriboselache represents the first cladoselachid to be discovered with significant details of the jaws, braincase and even endocranium. Along with Cladoselache, it shares a unique and distinctive tooth and upper jaw morphology.[1]
