Cephalaspis

==Summary==
Cephalaspis is a genus (single-species) of primitive fish known as osteostracans. Its name comes from the Greek words kephalḗ (κεφαλή), which means "head," and aspís (ἀσπίς), which means "shield." Its most notable feature was its large, shield-like head which its name is derived. It lived in rivers 415–398 million years ago, during the early Devonian. With eyes on the top of its head and a mouth on its underside, it was a bottom feeder much like a Plecostomus or catfish, straining food into its jawless mouth. It would have likely fed on worms and crustaceans in the mud, along with feeding on detritus.
