[Chez les «Osteostraci»] la tête et une partie du tronc qui lui est adjacente étaient enfermées dans un bouclier ossifié. On appelle ce «bouclier» céphalique, bien qu'il comprenne aussi une partie du squelette du tronc. [...] Sur sa face ventrale le bouclier céphalique se limite à un rebord [...] qui entoure une lacune circulaire, la fenêtre oralobranchiale [...]. Le bouclier céphalique est arrondi ou aigu vers l'avant, pouvant parfois se prolonger par un processus rostral [...] 1, record 2, French, - bouclier%20c%C3%A9phalique
