Loganellia is a genus of jawless fish which lived between 430 and 370 million years ago, during the Silurian and Devonian periods of the Paleozoic.
[1] Loganellia belonged to the Thelodonti class and like other Thelodonts possessed scales instead of plate armor.
Loganellia are thought to be more closely related to the crown group of gnathostomes than conodonts.
In this sense, Loganellia may possess the earliest known dental structures related to modern teeth, and would have evolved in the throat, rather than through dermal denticles or jaws.
