Description
FAMILY DUNKLEOSTEIDAE STENSIÖ, 1963
Type genus
Dunkleosteus Lehman, 1956.
Diagnosis (modified after Carr & Hlavin, 2010) Pachyosteomorphi in which the interolateral plate contacts the spinal plate laterally; the spinal plate does not bear a spinal pit; the posterior ventrolateral plate bears a small postpectoral lamina; the anterior supragnathal plate in dorsal view forms an open ring with an angle of about 90°; and the parasphenoid bears a pair of posterolateral processes. The clade Dunkleosteidae includes Dunkleosteus as its type genus and all other genera in Dunkleosteoidea Vézina, 1990 more closely related to Dunkleosteus than to Panxiosteus.
