(March 2020) (Learn how and when to remove this message) Cladodoides Temporal range: Late Devonian PreꞒ Ꞓ O S D C P T J K Pg N Fossil Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Chondrichthyes Subclass: Elasmobranchii Order: †Ctenacanthiformes Family: †Ctenacanthidae Genus: †Cladodoides Maisey, 2001 Species: †C. wildungensis Binomial name †Cladodoides wildungensis (Jaekel, 1921) ***Cladodoides*** is a [genus](/source/Genus) of [extinct](/source/Extinction) [cartilaginous fish](/source/Cartilaginous_fish). It appeared in the [Frasnian](/source/Frasnian) age of the late [Devonian](/source/Devonian) and possibly existed in the [Tournaisian](/source/Tournaisian) age of the early [Carboniferous](/source/Carboniferous). It has a well-described [braincase](/source/Braincase) and [brain cavity](/source/Cranial_cavity), and has greatly informed our understanding of the skull, brain, nerves, and jaws of early sharks. *Cladodoides* is likely a [cladodont](/source/Cladodont) shark. Remains have been found in Germany. Six pentacuspid teeth, possibly belonging to *Cladodoides wildungensis*, have been found in the Tournaisian [Laurel Formation](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Laurel_Formation_(Carboniferous)&action=edit&redlink=1), Australia.[1] - [Sharks portal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Sharks) - [Paleontology portal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Paleontology) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-Roelofs2016_1-0)** Brett Roelofs, Milo Barham, Arthur J.
