| Genera | |
Camuropiscidae is a family of mostly small, bullet or spindle-shaped extinct arthrodire placoderms from the Late Devonian. With the exception of the snub-nosed Simosteus,[4] camuropiscid placoderms are characterized by an elongated, tubular snout. The entire family is restricted to the Frasnian Gogo Reef Formation of Australia .
The camuropiscids' elongated snouts, streamlined body shape, and rapid jaw closure are thought as adaptations for pelagic, pursuit predators, swallowing their prey whole.[5]
