Chlamydoselachidae (frilled shark) |
Hexanchiformes is the order consisting of the most primitive types of sharks, and numbering just five extant species.
Hexanchiform sharks have only one dorsal fin, either six or seven gill slits, and no nictitating membrane in the eyes.
The frilled shark, Chlamydoselachus anguineus, is very different from the cow sharks, and it has been proposed that it be moved to its own order Chlamydoselachiformes.
