Gymnotrachelus is an extinct monospecific genus of large selenosteid arthrodire placoderm of the Late Devonian known from the Late Famennian Cleveland Shale of Ohio.[1] The type species is Gymnotrachelus hydei.[2]
Phylogeny
[edit]Gymnotrachelus is a member of the family Selenosteidae of the clade Aspinothoracidi, which belongs to the clade Pachyosteomorphi, one of the two major clades within Eubrachythoraci. The cladogram below shows the phylogeny of Gymnotrachelus:[3]
According to a 2022 Jobbins et al. study, Gymnotrachelus was found to be an outgroup to Heintzichthys and Gorgonichthys.[4]
