  2. Phylum Chordata C. Vertebrata • Share four chordate characteristics + vertebral column (spine, backbone) • Spine encloses and protects nerve cord (spinal cord) • Anterior end of spinal cord = brain protected by skull made of bone or cartilage 1. Fishes • Oldest group of vertebrates (530 mya) • 27,000+ species (15,600+ marine spp.) • Three major groups

  3. Fishes

  4. Fishes • Class Agnatha – Jawless fish • No jaws • Unpaired fins and no scales • Hagfishes

  5. Fishes • Class Agnatha – Jawless fish • Hagfishes

  6. Fishes • Class Agnatha – Jawless fish • Lampreys

  7. Fishes • Class Chondrichthyes – Cartilaginous Fishes • Includes sharks, rays, skates and ratfish • Cartilage skeleton • Movable jaws • Paired and Unpaired fins • Placoid scales
