Macrourogaleus is a genus of shark from the Late Jurassic Solnhofen Limestone. It is closely related to Paraorthacodus, and placed in the same family Paraorthacodontidae, [1] (though both genera were formerly placed in Palaeospinacidae [2]) The body is slender, with a single dorsal fin and a elongate caudal fin. The anal fin is also very elongate. The pectoral and pelvic fins are noticeably rounded. [1]
