Phoebodontiformes

Phoebodontiformes is an extinct group of elasmobranchs (sensu lato), known from the Devonian and Carboniferous periods. It includes the genera Phoebodus, Diademodus and Thrinacodus.[1] Phoebodus and Thrinacodus have slender, elongate bodies.[2] Their teeth are tricuspate (bearing three cusps).[2][3]
