The family classification of extinct prehistoric fish that lived during the Mesozoic Era.
From Enchodus + -idae (taxonomic family suffix). The family name is derived from the genus Enchodus, incorporating the same Greek roots for tooth structure.
Enchodontidae is named after their incredible teeth—the suffix -idae just means 'family of,' so you're literally calling them 'the tooth family' in scientific Latin!
