RE: https://mastodon.green/@plazi_species/117075926915876086
A #newspecies of #chimaera has been #discovered. #Chimaeras (#Chondrichthyes) are the only extant representatives of the taxon Holocephali. They have been less studied than other cartilaginous fish and often inhabit continental margins. N. V. Vidaurre-Quesada et al. (2026) described the new species Rhinochimaera costaricana off the #Pacific #coast of #CostaRica. #Biodiversity.

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🦈🦴 Equipped with broad, wing-like fins and an oily liver that keeps them buoyant, ghost #sharks have navigated #ocean depths since the Devonian period. Also called #ratfishes, these are #chimaeras in the class Chondrichthyes along with sharks and #rays.

#NewSpecies of #GhostShark with unusually long nose discovered in deep seas off #NewZealand https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/sep/25/ghost-shark-new-species-spookfish-discovered-new-zealand
Harriotta avia sp. nov. – a new rhinochimaerid described from the Southwest Pacific: Brittany Finucci et al. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10641-024-01577-4
“#Chimaeras are quite cryptic in nature – they can be hard to find in the #DeepSea… and they generally don’t get the same attention #sharks do, when it comes to research.”

#CrittersOfMastodon
#GhostShark#Chimaeras (ghost sharks) are soft-bodied, shark-like fish with bulky heads and long, tapered tails; measured from the tail, they can grow up to 150 cm (4.9 ft) in length.
Ghost sharks are not actual sharks, but a species of fish closely related to sharks and rays.
They 're cartilaginous, meaning their skeletons are primarily composed of cartilage, which gives them an eerie, ethereal quality.
They're known for their winged fins, protruding forehead and "dead eye gaze".The ghost shark's retractable sex organ resembles a spiky club that sits at the end of a stalk.
The first dorsal fin, which is the fin present on its back, is uniquely shorter than its curved spine.
Most species of ghost shark inhabit the deep sea, although a handful of species prefer to live in shallow coastal waters.
They're thought to originate around 420 million years ago/This video is thought to be the first time one has been caught on camera.

#Carboniferous-Period #Chimaeras Were Suction Feeders
https://www.sci.news/paleontology/carboniferous-period-chimaeras-11575.htmlEvidence for high-performance suction feeding in the Pennsylvanian stem-group holocephalan Iniopera https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2207854119
In their early evolutionary history, some chimaeras were inhabiting ecological niches that are now monopolized by ray finned #fishes — a far cry from their modern life as specialized shell-crushers.
