Paintings of hammerhead sharks depicted in the "Oki National Products Illustration Notes". From Japan, Edo Period, 1735 CE

[Edit: 10/18: This art might be AI art according to some folks who have only found it referenced starting about a month ago in various social media posts (including this one). If I have unconsciously spread AI art around, I apologize. If it turns out this is a verified historical thing, neat. If people keep sending me anonymous messages calling me unpleasant names for posting AI art occasionally, I will continue to block them rather than reply.] Edit 2: 10/18:

There are four types of fish scales!

Cycloid scales are thin, overlap, and flexible. They're found on primitive teleosts (like minnows and carp).

Ctenoid scales have small, backwards pointed scales (known as cterns) make the fish more hydrodynamic and faster. They're found on Advanced Ctenoids (like perch and sunfish).

Ganoid scales are thick, diamond-shaped, and mostly non-overlapping. They're found on Chondrostei (like sturgeons and paddlefish).

Placoid scales are spikey and tooth-like with nerves. These are found on Chondrichthyes (like sharks and rays).
