Chlamydoselachus goliath is a species of large frilled shark that lived during the Late Campanian stage of the late Cretaceous in Angola's southern Benguela Basin.[1] It was described by Miguel Telles Antunes and Henri Cappetta in 2002 during the beginning stages of the PaleoAngola project.
The holotype named MUS ANG 23 is rather large, with the tooth fragment found alone measuring 20 mm.[2]
