Batomorphi feeding

A

Most are benthic (bottom dwelling)

Durophagy

Some are piscivorous and filter feeders

A

Relatively long rostrum (portion of the cranium in front of the eye)

Subterminal mouth

Hyostylic for mobile and protrusible jaws

Large nasal capsules

18

A

Member of Batomorphi

Gill positioned ventrally

Lack barbels as electroceptors on the nostrum

20
Q

Sawshark

A

Member of the Squalomorphi

Gill positioned laterally next to pectoral fin

Carrying barbels as electroreceptors on the nostrum

21
Q

Squalomorphi

A

Carry a distinct spiracle to assist ventilation

Some species have tapetum lucidum (eye shine)

Lack anal fin

Fins with cartilaginous fin spines- Assist in stabilizing fins during movement

22
Q

Hexanchiformes diagnostic features

A

Lack calcified vertebrae

Loss of anterior dorsal fin

Loss of fine spines

23
Q

Galeomorphi 4 clades

A

Heterodontiformes

Orectobiformes

Lamniformes

Carcharhiniformes

24
Q

Galeomorphi diagnostic features

A

Having small spriacle or none at all

Most species lose fin spine

Carrying anal fin

Some have tapetum lucidum

25
Q

Tapetum lucidum

A

Formed by plate like guanine crystals behind the retina in the eye

Makes the eye shiny

26
Q

Selachii feeding

A

Carnivorous predators

Active hunting

Ambush hunting

Found near ocean floor

27
Q

Selachii hunting tactics

A

Suction feeding

Ramming

Biting

28
Q

Suction feeding

A

Mouth is opened rapidly, creating negative pressure that sucks in water and prey

29
Q

Ramming

A

Predator swims rapidly with mouth open

30
Q

Biting

A

Predator closes jaw on prey

31
Q

Selachii reproduction

A

Many species are oviparous some are viviparous

32
Q

Selachii

Lecithotrophy

A

Yolk supplies all necessary nutrients

33
Q

Selachii

Matrotrophy

A

Additional nutrients are supplied by female through placental attachment

34
Q

Otodus megalodon

A

Likely in Galeomorphi

Usually large teeth and body size

35
Q

Acanthodii

A

Stem-chondrichthyans in the Devonian

Small in size

Spikes on the ventral side

Lack teeth

Carry smooth scales made from bone and dentin

36
Q

Helicoprion

A

Teeth arranged in spiral whorl all in lower jaw

New teeth rotate outward old teeth are retained
