Etymology: Dipturus: Greek, di = two + Greek, pteryx = fin (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr George Gordon Campbell (1893–1977) was a South African physician and naturalist who inspired the Foundation for Marine Biological Research and was President of it, for which he was honoured in the name of the skate. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

A black-spotted longnose skate with an elongated, acutely triangular snout, and a stout tail- just shorter than body and slightly swollen along the mid-section; disc with rounded corners and smooth underside except for small denticles on edges and tip of snout; small thorns on nape and midback to 1st dorsal fin (Ref. 5578). Medium grey to brownish with numerous small dark spots dorsally; grey with conspicuous black pores ventrally (Ref. 5578).
Body shape (shape guide): other.
Found on the bottom of the outer shelf and upper slope (Ref. 5578). Probably caught by trawlers (Ref. 5578).Oviparous (Ref. 50449). Eggs have horn-like projections on the shell (Ref. 205). Males reaches maturity at ca. 57 cm TL, females at ca. 64 cm TL (Ref. 114953)
