Abstract
Follicle cell processes ( FCP ) are identified in two species of carcharhinid shark (Selachii) but are absent in the little skate Leucoraja erinacea (Batoidea). This suggests that FCPs are either a unique structure that evolved in selachians or were lost by the batoids after their divergence, some 280 mya . The presence of FCPs in the selachians would be consistent with the evolution of large oocytes in this group of animals.
