Traquairaspidiformes

Traquairaspidiformes is an order of extinct heterostracan agnathan fish known from the Silurian and Early Devonian periods.

Fossils are predominantly known from Late Silurian fluvial deposits from Wales and England: some species were also found in strata representing shallow water marine environment in Canada and North America.

Intact specimens of Weigeltaspis suggest a living animal similar to psammosteids like Drepanaspis.

[2] The armor of Phialaspis symmondsi (once considered as species of Traquairaspis[3]) is shaped like a jet plane or paper airplane, with pointed wing-like crests and a dorsal crest near the posterior end of the armor.

The body of "Yukonaspis," Traquairaspis angusta, is greatly elongated, based on the holotype, a ventral plate.
