Biology:Phlebolepis
From HandWiki
Phlebolepis is an extinct thelodont agnathan genus belonging to the family Phlebolepididae. Whole fossils are found in Late Silurian (Ludlow epoch) aged strata from Saaremaa, Estonia. Phlebolepis elegans was average-sized for a thelodont, 7 cm long.[1]
The scales of Phlebolepis are robust and abrasion-resistant, similar to modern sharks which live among rough substrates such as rocky caves or reefs.[2][3]
