Cappetta (1987) includes two extinct species, G. delfortriei DAIMERIES 1889 from the Miocene of Europe and Africa and G. malembeense DARTEVELLE & CASIER 1943 from Miocene of West Africa.
Ginglymostoma sp. Tailings from the mine in Aurora rarely yield a Nurse shark teeth. Those specimens seen by the author have all been from DPW material, thought to be of Pungo River Fm (Lower Miocene) origin. Most of these teeth have root damage, which would question the validity of any identification. However, the accompanying illustration is clearly a nurse shark. The author is of the opinion that these teeth likely represent the extant species G. cirratum
