Genera[ citation needed ]

Gregoriidae is an extinct family of early chondrichthyans from the Carboniferous period. [2] It currently includes three described genera: Gregorius , Srianta , and Bealbonn . This family includes remains formerly ascribed to the genus Desmiodus , which is now considered a nomen vanum or nomen dubium . [3] [4] The relationships between the included genera are not entirely clear. [5] Fossils are known from Serpukhovian-aged formations including the Bear Gulch Limestone and Surprise Canyon Formation.
