| phylum | Chordata | Hybodus is an extinct genus of once-common, widespread and long lived sharks, first appearing towards the end of the Permian period, and disappearing at the beginning of the Late Cretaceous. During the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods the hybodonts were especially successful. Hybodus species grew to about 2 metres (6.6 ft) in length, and are believed to have been opportunist predators
