Review to follow soon. I see prickly shark is also not in a bad state; if you work up Echinorhinus, you may have yourself a nice little good topic here. J Milburn (talk) 10:17, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"with the first originating behind the pelvic fin origins" awkward
- Rephrased.
Annoyingly, pharynx currently links to human pharynx
- I know. I was astounded that a topic as important to evolutionary biology as pharynx doesn't have an article here. Of course, the human-centric slant is rather systemic across our anatomy articles.
Lifespan is a dablink
- Fixed.
I think the apparent rarity could perhaps be more explicit in the lead- note that there are few records of them/they are rarely encountered? That said, I note that the Marmara paper mentions that it is actually very common in some seas, which could be made clearer. Is this claim disputed elsewhere?
- Added note in lead. The statement in the Marmara paper is a slight mis-paraphrasing; the original statement in Compagno (1984) is "relatively common", meaning that most of the known records have come from the E Atlantic and W Indian Oceans.
I've added a few categories- I know you're not big on the ocean categeories, and after trying to categorise this one, I see why. I've just gone with categories for the three main oceans.

Very hard for me to fault this one- a very good article. J Milburn (talk) 10:53, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Let me know of further issues. -- Yzx (talk) 02:43, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The pharynx thing is annoying; I think I'll throw this out to a couple of WikiProjects. Other than that, however, this article seems ready. Nice work, as ever! J Milburn (talk) 10:41, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. -- Yzx (talk) 15:13, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
