Thyestiida was an order of bony-armored jawless fish in the 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 Hoelaspis (top right) and Tauraspis (top left), or the thyestiid Tremataspis (bottom right). The latter, of the family Tremataspididae, has lost the paired fins, possibly as a consequence of an adaptation to burrowing habits.[3]
