Cephalaspis
''Cephalaspis'' ''(head shield)'' was a genus in the class Osteostraci of Palaeozoic armoured jawless fishes, or ostracoderms. It was a medium-sized detritivorous fish that lived in freshwater streams and estuaries of the early Devonian. ==Anatomy and morphology== Like its immediate osteostracan ancestors, ''Cephalaspis'' was heavily armored, presumedly to defend against predatory placoderms and eurypterids, as well as to serve as a source of calcium for metabolic functions in calcium-poor freshwater environments. It had sensory patches along the rim and center of its head shield, which were used to sense for worms and other burrowing organisms in the mud.
