A genus of extinct prehistoric sharks or fish-like creatures with comb-like teeth or tooth structures.
From Greek 'ctenis' (comb) and 'odous' (tooth), a Latinized genus name following the same pattern as ctenodont.
These ancient sharks had teeth that looked like tiny combs, possibly for processing soft-bodied prey like jellyfish and squid in prehistoric seas!
