Lampreys and hagfishes are the only jawless vertebrates to survive today. They both have a round mouth and for this reason are often referred to as cyclostomes.
The skeleton of jawless fish, such as lampreys and hagfish, is primarily made of cartilage rather than bone. Cartilage is a flexible and lightweight tissue that provides structure and support to these fish without the need for heavy bones.

Sharks and lampreys are both types of fish that have cartilaginous skeletons rather than bony skeletons, which is a category officially known as the elasmobranchs. Bony fish in comparison are called teleosts.
Diatomaceous earth is made up of the skeletons of small animals.
Lampreys differ from hagfishes by having a notochord that is surrounded by a tube of cartilage.

jawless fishes
Yes pigeons have spleens. All vertebrates have spleens except lampreys and hagfishes.
Lampreys are jawless fishes with cartilaginous skeletons. Most lampreys are parasites on other fishes and are marine animals. A few lamprey species live in freshwater. All sharks live in the sea and have cartilaginous skeletons. Most sharks are predators, but a few are filter feeders on marine plankton.

Jawless fishes were the first vertebrates to live on earth. As their name suggests, they have no jaws. Instead, they have mouths for scraping, stabbing and sucking food. Their skeletons are made of cartilage, not bone. Hagfishes and lampreys are the only jawless fishes that are still alive. They are usually scavengers, that live near the ocean floor. Some can also be parasites.

No, lampreys are a cartilaginous fish, and being made of cartilage, they have no bones.

n. 1. a class of eel-shaped chordates with a cartilaginous skeleton lacking jaws, scales, and pelvic fins. Among these are the lampreys and hagfishes. There are some extinct forms.
