A taxonomic group or category comprising primitive sharks like cladoselache and their relatives.
From 'Cladoselache' + Latin '-ea' (forming group names). Created as a scientific classification to group related ancient shark species.
Scientists use these fancy group names to organize millions of extinct species—Cladoselachea represents a whole branch of the shark family tree that died out but gave rise to all modern sharks.
