What is another word for Class Placodermi?
Pronunciation: [klˈas plˈakə͡ʊdəmˌi] (IPA) 
Class Placodermi is a group of extinct, armored fishes that lived during the Devonian period. These fish are also referred to as the "plate-skinned fish" due to the bony plates that protected their bodies. Other synonyms for the term "Class Placodermi" include "placoderms" and "armored fish". These early fish were some of the first vertebrates to evolve jaws, and they dominated the world's oceans for millions of years. While they are no longer extant, the remains of placoderms continue to provide invaluable insights into the evolution of fish, and their fossils are prized by paleontologists and collectors alike.
