Description from Wikipedia

Cephalaspidomorphs are a taxon of jawless fishes named for the cephalaspids, a group of osteostracans. Most of the members of this group are extinct; however, it interests modern biologists because it may include the lampreys. If so, the lampreys extend the known range of the group from the Silurian and Devonian periods to the present day.

No range data available.
