The type species, Denaea fournieri is a small (est. total length 50-60 mm) symmoriiform shark known from numerous, incomplete but well preserved specimens of semi-articulatedindividuals from the Marbre Noir (Lower Viséan, Lower Carboniferous) of Denée, Belgium (FOURNIER & PRUVOST 1922). Historically, it represents the fourth symmoriiform taxon to have been described from articulated skeletal remains (see COPE 1893, 1894; TRAQUAIR 1898) and the first such find in mainland Europe. These fossils were described and a holotype was designated by FOURNIER & PRUVOST (1928), but since that time D. fournieri has been largely neglected.
