Also known as Placoderm

Placoderms (from Ancient Greek πλάξ [plax, plakos] 'plate' and δέρμα [derma] 'skin') are vertebrate animals of the class Placodermi, an extinct group of prehistoric fish known from Paleozoic fossils during the Silurian and the Devonian periods. While their endoskeletons are mainly cartilaginous, their head and thorax were covered by articulated armoured plates (hence the name), and the rest of the body was scaled or naked depending on the species.

AI overview

Placoderms were an extinct group of prehistoric fish that lived during the Silurian and Devonian periods, distinguished by their distinctive armor-plated heads and thoraxes covering mostly cartilaginous skeletons. They matter to our understanding of vertebrate evolution because they represent an early branch of fish that developed protective plating, a significant innovation in how ancient animals adapted to their environments.
