Cosmaspis transversa Denison, 1970 - fossil fish from the Devonian of Wyoming, USA. (FMNH PF4389, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Illinois, USA) Orientation: anterior is to the right. This species is also known as Protaspis (Cosmaspis) transversa. Cosmaspis is a fossil jawless fish with significant bony armour. The earliest fish lacked jaws. The first jawed fish are Ordovician in age, but they didn't become common until the Devonian. Jaws appeared by evolutionary modification of the anterior set of gill arches. Jawed fish have fewer pairs of gill arches than jawless fish. A few jawless fish still exist in modern oceans - hagfishes and lampreys. From museum signage: "Many of the earliest jawless fishes, called ostracoderms, had bony shields covering their head regions. These fishes get their name from this bony, shell-like shield: "ostracoderm" comes from the Greek ostrakon ("shell") and derma ("skin"). Though extinct today, ostracoderms were once common." Classification: Animalia, Chordata, Vertebrata, Agnatha, Heterostraci, Pteraspidiformes, Protaspididae Stratigraphy: Beartooth Butte Formation, Lower Devonian Locality: Cottonwood Canyon (NE 1/4, section 4, T56N, R93W), east of the town of Lovell, northern Bighorn Mountains, northern Big Horn County, northern Wyoming, USA |
