Rajorhina is an extinct genus [2] of stingray-like skate from the Upper Cretaceous of what is now Lebanon. [3] [1] It is the only known fossil-only genus of the family Rajidae [4] The genus is typified by a Rhombus form.[ citation needed]
From its taxonomy a few things have been inferred about it. It likely lived in a marine environment and it was phosphatic based on its subphylum. [2] It was actively mobile and a carnivore. [2]
