Camuropiscidae
Camuropiscidae is a family of mostly small, bullet or spindle-shaped extinct arthrodire placoderms from the Late Devonian. With the exception of the snub-nosed '' Simosteus'', camuropiscid placoderms are characterized by an elongated, tubular snout. The entire family is restricted to the Frasnian Gogo Reef Formation of Australia. The camuropiscids' elongated snouts and bullet-shaped bodies are thought to be adaptions for hydrodynamic streamlining. They are assumed to have been mid-water predators of shrimp-like crustaceans. Phylogeny Camuropiscidae is 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 A phylogenetic tree (also phylogeny or evolutionary tree Felsenstein J. (2004).

Fallacosteus Turneri
''Fallacosteus'' is an extinct monospecific genus of arthrodire placoderm from the Early Frasnian stage of the Late Devonian period, found at the Gogo Formation of Kimberley, Western Australia. As with almost all other camuropiscids, ''F. turneri'' had an elongated snout that may have enhanced its hydrodynamic streamlining. Etymology The generic name translates as "deceptive bone," in reference to its extreme similarity to ''Camuropiscis''. The specific name ''turneri'' honors Sue Turner. Phylogeny ''Fallacosteus'' is a member of the family Camuropiscidae under the superfamily Incisoscutoidea, which belongs to the clade Coccosteomorphi, one of the two major clades within Eubrachythoraci.

Although ''S. tuberculatus'' lacks the characteristic elongated nose, it shares other diagnostic features of camuropiscids, such as cheekplates sutured to the cranium.

S. Miles. "Eubrachythoracid arthrodires with tubular rostral plates from Gogo, Western Australia." Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 67.4 (1979): 297-328. The creature with skull reaching had tough plating on the front of its body. Like other arthrodires such as ''Coccosteus'' and the giant ''Dunkleosteus'', it had sharp, bony plates in its mouth which formed a turtle-like beak for cutting prey to pieces. ''Rolfosteuss most unusual feature was its highly elongated snout, which may have been used to enhance its sense of smell, as well as increase its hydrodynamic streamlining.
