Identification of the 8 extant shark orders

Sharks belong to the superorder Selachimorpha in the subclass Elasmobranchii in the class Chondrichthyes. Sharks ( Superorder Selachimorpha) are a type of Fish with a full cartilaginous Skeleton and a highly streamlined body Elasmobranchii is the subclass of Cartilaginous fish that includes Skates rays (batoidea, and sharks (selachii. Chondrichthyes or cartilaginous fishes are jawed Fish with paired fins paired nostrils scales two-chambered hearts and skeletons made of Cartilage rather The Elasmobranchii also include rays and skates; the Chondrichthyes also include Chimaeras. Batoidea is a Superorder of cartilaginous fish containing more than 500 described species in thirteen families Skates are cartilaginous fish belonging to the family Rajidae in the superorder Batoidea of rays Chimaeras are cartilaginous fish in the order Chimaeriformes. It is currently thought that the sharks form a polyphyletic group: in particular, some sharks are more closely related to rays than they are to some other sharks. In Phylogenetics, a Taxon is polyphyletic ( Greek for "of many races" if the trait its members have in common evolved separately in different The first sharks appeared in the oceans 350 to 400 million years ago. An ocean (from Greek, ''Okeanos'' (Oceanus) is a major body of saline water, and a principal component of the Hydrosphere. Most of the species we know today are as old as the Jurassic period. The Jurassic is a geologic period and system that extends from about Ma (million years ago to  Ma that is from the end of the Triassic to the beginning

Listed below are extant species of shark in taxonomic order. Extant is a term commonly used to refer to Taxa (such as Species, genera or families) that are still in existence (living Sharks are spread across eight orders which are listed in roughly evolutionary order (from primitive to modern), and the familes and genera within the orders are listed in alphabetical order. This article is about the taxonomic rank for the sequence of species in a taxonomic list see Taxonomic order In scientific classification used

The Lamniformes include the extinct megalodon, Carcharodon megalodon, which like all extinct sharks is only known from its teeth (the only bone found in these cartilaginous fishes, and therefore the only fossils produced). The megalodon (ˡmɛgələˌdɒn or MEG -a-la-don meaning "big tooth" or in Greek as μέγας 'οδόντος was a giant Shark FOSSIL is a standard protocol for allowing serial communication for Telecommunications programs under the DOS Operating system. A reproduction of the jaw was based on some of the largest teeth (up to almost 17 cm (7 in) in length) and suggested a fish that could grow 25 m (80 ft) long to 30. A centimetre ( American spelling: centimeter, symbol cm) is a unit of Length in the Metric system, equal to one hundredth Inches redirects here To see the Les Savy Fav album see Inches. The metre or meter is a unit of Length. It is the basic unit of Length in the Metric system and in the International A foot (plural feet or foot; symbol or abbreviation ft or sometimes &prime – the prime symbol) is a non-SI unit 5 m (100 ft). The jaw was realized to be inaccurate, and estimates revised downwards to around 13 m (43 ft) to 15. 9 m (52 ft).
