Cartieraspis
Cartieraspis is an extinct genus of Phlyctaeniid placoderm fish which lived during the Middle Devonian period in North America.[1] Whether or not it is morphologically different enough from its close relative and contemporary Phlyctaenius to be considered generically distinct is dubious.
