Falcatidae

Falcatidae is a family of paleozoic holocephalians.[1] Members of this Family include Falcatus, a small fish from the Bear Gulch Limestone of Montana.[2] The family first appeared around the start of the Carboniferous, and there is some evidence that they survived well into the early Cretaceous.[3]
