Compagopiscis is an extinct genus of placoderm known from the Gogo Formation. It lived in the Upper Devonian (Frasnian stage) of Western Australia.[1] The genus is monotypic, with its only species being Compagopiscis croucheri.[2]

Description

Compagopiscis is one of the earliest known vertebrates to have teeth.[3] An analysis of its bite force suggests that it was a generalist predator, having a diverse diet.[4] Fossils have been found in numbers, suggesting possible schooling behavior.[4]

Phylogeny

Compagopiscis was originally classified as a member of the family Plourdosteidae.[5] However, phylogenetic analysis later found Plourdosteidae to be an invalid grouping, and the family was dismissed.[6] Torosteus is now considered to be a member of the superfamily Incisoscutoidea, which belongs to the clade Coccosteomorphi, one of the two major clades within Eubrachythoraci. The cladogram below shows the phylogeny of Compagopiscis:[7]
