specifically holocephali, aka chimera and thier relatives back in ancient times, they just convergently evolved to look like elasmobranchs, they were the dominant cartilaginous fish at the time, before fleeing to the deep sea(where most the chimaeras live now). stethacanthus, helicoprion were all holocephali relatives.
