Chondricthyes - Cartilaginous Fish
  1. Paleozoic Radiation
    1. Amphystylic jaw support
      1. Chondrocranium fixed to palatoquadrate
      2. Body supported - Notochord + neural arches and cartilage
        1. Paired fins - fixed (no rotation)
        2. Limited scales
          1. 3 cusped teeth
            1. Tooth whorl - lots of new teeth developing, rotation to the front then falling out
              1. present in all extant sharks
          2. Mesozoic Radiation
            1. Hybodonts
              1. Heterodont dentition - posterior teeth
                1. In batteries - several teeth whorl
                2. Pectoral fins rotate - not fixed
                  1. Ceratotrichia
                    1. Proteinaceous flexible fin rays
                      1. Curve base to tip and front to back
                      2. Produce lift and stability - greater thrust and counteract sinking
                      3. Amphistylic jaw support
