	Shark - Wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Sharks can be characterized as large, marine predators with a cartilaginous skeleton, multiple (usually five) gill slits along the sides or bottom of the head, dermal denticles covering the body, and rows of replaceable teeth in the mouth.
		Sharks include everything from a hand sized deep sea species, to the whale shark[?], the largest fish which is believed to grow to a maximum length of 18m (59 feet) and which, like the great whales[?], feeds only on plankton.
		In addition to the great white shark and bull shark[?], the only other sharks proven to have killed humans are the oceanic white tipped shark[?] and the tiger shark, implicated in attacks most often in the tropical Pacific, including Hawaii.

	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.
		Superficially the frilled shark resembles a dark brown or gray eel, but the six gill slits[?] identify it as a shark.
		Frilled sharks appear regularly in the catches from bottom trawling[?], and when caught are used as food or for fishmeal[?].

	Shark Species
		The white sharks most common prey is fish and seals, on the west coast of America white sharks feed on a lot of elephant seals, and in the Mediterranean Sea white sharks feed on a lot of tuna, and dolphins.
		This species is the most dangerous shark in the world and while it was once thought that sharks had poor eyesight (sharks have very good eyesight) and attacks where a case of mistaken identity, it is now known that attacks are probably due to the shark just merely testing the organism.
		The shark is not related to the gray nurse shark.

		Frilled Shark Facts: The frilled 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 hexanchiform sharks, and it has been recently proposed that the frilled shark should be given its own order.

	Shark Pictures
		Shark eyes have similar parts of their eyes that other vertebrates have like a cornea, lens, and retina.
		Once the shark is in the general area of the prey, then the shark begins to use a combination of its smell coupled with the use of the lateral lines running along the side of the shark.
		Sharks include everything from a hand sized pygmy shark a deep sea species, to the whale shark, the largest fish (although sharks are not closely related to bony fish) which is believed to grow to a maximum length of 18m (59 feet) and which, like the great whales, feeds only on plankton.

	About prehistoric Sharks-Megalodon,fossil teeth,
		All that is known about ancient sharks and their evolution has been gleaned from the fossil record.Fossil remains of sharks have been known for many centuries, although their true nature was not always recognized.
		Shark teeth, together with scales and dorsal spines, are the three parts of sharks most often preserved in rocks.
		Although sharks and shark-like fishes have a long history; the modern sharks Cneoselachians) did not rise to dominance until after the Jurassic period, when, for some reason that is not yet clear, many of the more ancient forms had become extinct.

	Echinorhiniformes: Bramble Sharks
		Bramble sharks feed on a variety of fishes living on or near the bottom, including other sharks, elephant fish (a type of chimaera belonging to the genus Callorhinchus), hake, flatfishes, and herrings as well as crabs, octopuses, and squids.
		Of stocky build with a moderately-sized mouth, bramble sharks are thought to feed by sucking in their prey at close range by suddenly expanding the mouth and pharynx, creating a powerful vacuum.
		Note that those of the bramble shark have rounded bases and often fuse together, while those of the prickly shark are stellate with heavily-ridged spines and never fuse.

	Frilled Shark, Chlamydoselachus anguineus
		The Frilled Shark is easily recognised by its slender eel-like body, six pairs of gill slits, terminal mouth (starting at the front of the head), three-pronged teeth, single dorsal fin, caudal fin without a lower lobe, and brown colour.
		The Frilled Shark's teeth at the margins of the jaw are gradually replaced by those behind.
		During mating, one clasper is inserted into the body of the female Frilled Shark to facilitate sperm transfer.

	About sharks
		Sharks have 5,6,or 7 pair of gill openings.- Only a total of 7 shark species out of over 450 species have 6 or 7 pair of gill openings, and they are not in the New England area.
		There are shark species that lack a fork in their tail that would define an upper and lower tail lobe, but those sharks are not in the New England area.
		In most shark species the upper lobe is two or more times longer than the lower tail lobe.

	Chlamydoselachiformes: Frilled Shark
		Growing to a length of nearly 6.5 feet (2 metres), the eel-like Frilled Shark (Chlamydoselachus anguineus) has elaborate, collar-like gills - the first of which is continuous across the throat - and a terminal mouth armed with some 300 trident-shaped teeth arranged in about 25 rows.
		The Frilled Shark has the smallest litter size of any hexanchoid, ranging from 2 to 12 pups - with 6 being the average - each about 22 inches (55 centimetres) long.
		The Frilled Shark usually inhabits deep waters between 400 and 4,200 feet (120 and 1,280 metres).

	When did Sharks Evolve ?
		So most of the soft tissues of sharks are lost to time since their skeletons, which are made of cartilage not bone, dissapear rapidly, most shark fossils consist of teeth or occasionally material such as spines, bits of spine and dermal denticles (the skin teeth that sharks have instead of scales)
		Some of ancient shark fossils found are pretty wierd, including one species that had a line of teeth in a spiral shape on the edge of the jaw.
		This shark lives deep around 1300m / 4200ft, the extreme unchanging environment is probably what allowed the fish to stay the same, keeping ancestral features like its long eel like body and a top jaw that is fixed to its skull rather than moveable like those of modern sharks.

	SHARK TAXONOMY
		The taxonomy of sharks and rays is a subject that remains in hot debate.
		This implies that in all likelihood there are a number of shark and ray species lurking on the abyssal plain that have not yet been seen or captured.
		Included at the bottom are the Holocephali; the chimaeras or ghost sharks that share many characteristics with modern sharks and rays but are thought to be descended from a different group that thrived during the Late Devonian Period.

	Frilled Shark, Frill Shark, Frill-gilled Shark. Chlamydoselachidae. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Since the teeth are sharp and slender they are best suited for gripping and holding prey so it is assumed that the feed on soft animals, such as squid, although stomach contents have also shown it to eat other shark species.
		Frilled sharks are found in all major oceans, mostly in temperate regions, in depths from 120-1500m.
		Their common name comes from the large gill slits which are softly feathered on the outer edges and which also almost entirely encircle the head.
