Answer 2

Xenacanthida

An order of Paleozoic sharklike fishes abundant in fresh-water deposits of the Carboniferous and Early Permian. Although primitive in cranial structures, the pleuracanths differ notably from other sharks in several regards (see illustration). The teeth are two-pronged; there is a long spine projecting upward and backward from the posterior part of the braincase; the tail extends directly backward, in contrast with the upturned heterocercal caudal fin of other sharks; and the paired fins have the archipterygial skeletal pattern of a central axis and side branches, in contrast with a fan-shaped arrangement in typical sharks. See also Elasmobranchii.


A similar problem exists with ancient shark teeth, which did not seem to be present in rocks older than those from the mid-Devonian. It now seems that the reason for this was that scientists were not looking in the right places, and that early shark teeth were often very small. In 1986 teeth were found in Lower Devonian rocks from Spain which belonged to a group of sharks called Xenacanthids.
