Cochliodontiformes are an order of extinct holocephalans (historically referred to as bradyodonts)[1] known from the Devonian, Carboniferous and Permian periods, with the possible member, Listracanthus, known from the Early Triassic. Members of the order are believed to be durophagous benthic carnivores.[2][3]
| Cochliodontiformes Temporal range: Possible member Listracanthus survives until the Olenekian.
