Psephodus was an ancient genus of cartilaginous fish related to modern-day sharks and rays. This genus is known for its unique teeth, which were used to crush and grind hard-shelled prey such as mollusks and crustaceans. The Carboniferous period, sometimes called the "Age of Amphibians," was also a time when the oceans teemed with life, including various species of sharks and other marine predators.
