Archaeogaleus is an extinct genus of requiem shark from the Cretaceous period.[1] It is known only from the species A. lengadocensis. It was described from the Valanginian stage of France . The specific epithet refers to Lengadòc, the region where Occitan was historically spoken. It is the oldest known requiem shark and has a presumed dentition similar to the modern form Scoliodon.[2]
