  Frilled shark
The frilled shark or frill shark (Chlamydoselachus anguineus) is a primitive shark, the sole living member of the Chlamydoselachidae in the order Hexanchiformes.
It is very different from the other hexanchiforms, and has been recently proposed to be given its own order Chlamydoselachiformes.
Frilled sharks appear regularly in the catches from bottom trawling[?], and when caught are used as food or for fishmeal[?].
