Anachronistidae is an extinct family of cartilaginous fish, known from the Carboniferous and Permian periods. They are considered to be the oldest known members of Neoselachii (equivalent to Elasmobranchii in its narrow sense), with a close relationship to modern sharks and rays. They are known from isolated teeth.[1][2][3][4] They first appeared in Europe during the late Mississippian (Viséan), with Cooleyella dispersing into North America and South America during the Late Carboniferous and Permian.[5]
