[Animal Noses]
Among the primitive fishes belonging to the Paleozoic era, which belonged to the gnathopods, there were two groups: those with a pair of external nostrils (the dinarians), and those with only one (the monorrhinians), located in the middle of the nose. The best-known of the latter, the cephalothorax, had a pineal foramen between the eyes and a single external nares slightly forward of it on the dorsal surface of the hard bony armor covering the cephalothorax. A similar arrangement is seen in the lamprey, a cyclostome of the jawless fishes, and therefore the cyclostomes are thought to descend from the monorrhinians.
