Thyestiida is an order of bony-armored jawless fish in the extinct vertebrate class Osteostraci.[2]
The osteostracans reconstructed here belong to the major clade Cornuata, whose generalised morphology is exemplified by the zenaspidid Zenaspis (bottom left). Some highly derived head-shield morphologies are exemplified by the benneviaspidids (top right) and (top left), or the thyestiid Tremataspis (bottom right). The latter, of the family , has lost the paired fins, possibly as a consequence of an adaptation to burrowing habits.[3]
