When did the sting ray evolve?

Stingrays are believed to have evolved around 150 million years ago during the Late Jurassic period. They are part of the order Myliobatiformes, which includes several species of rays and skates. Their evolutionary adaptations, such as a flattened body and specialized feeding techniques, have allowed them to thrive in various marine environments. Over time, stingrays have diversified into numerous species seen today.
