I like that you added the ray in there, too. Is there a tiny shark in there?

Ratfish are also known as Chimaera, ghost shark or a rabbitfish... they are cartilaginous fish which belongs to the order Chimaeriformes. They are the distant cousins of the sharks and rays. They have huge heads, forward pointing beaks, poisonous dorsal spines and long rat like tails. Still alive today of course...

The only prehistory shark I see is a Megalodon and the others would apparently be a Great Hammerhead, a whale shark, a great white, and some species of manta ray.
