Biology:List of thelodont genera

From HandWiki
Short description: none

Thelodonti is a class of extinct Palaeozoic jawless fishes with distinctive scales instead of large plates of armor. Thelodonts are united in possession of "thelodont scales". This defining character is not necessarily a result of shared ancestry, as it may have been evolved independently by different groups. Thus, the thelodonts are generally thought to represent a polyphyletic group, although there is no firm agreement on this point. On the basis that they are monophyletic, they are reconstructed as being ancestrally marine and invading freshwater on multiple occasions.
