Scindocorax is an extinct genus of anacoracid mackerel shark from the Cretaceous period.[1] It currently holds a single species Scindocorax novamexicanus but a second more robust unnamed morph is known from the same locality.[2] It was described from the Santonian age of New Mexico. It is related to the larger, more common Squalicorax.
