Pteraspis (from 'wing' or 'fin' and 'shield') is an extinct genus of pteraspidid heterostracan jawless fish. It existed from the Lochkovian to Eifelian epochs of the Devonian period in areas that are now the Americas and Europe.

Doliodus is a genus of cartilaginous fish known from the Early Devonian period of what is now New Brunswick, Canada. It includes a single named species, either D. problematicus or D. latispinosus, which was originally described based on isolated teeth and potentially fin spines, but has since had a well-preserved body fossil assigned. The classification of the genus is uncertain, but it has been considered a member of the order Omalodontiformes. A more complete specimen that some authors assign to the genus shows features that are transitional between the extinct acanthodians and cartilaginous
