Dickosteus is an extinct genusofcoccosteid arthrodire placoderm from the Late Eifelian to Early Givetian stages of the Middle Devonian period. Fossils are found in Orkney and Caithness, Scotland. It was a small placoderm with a total body length of 43.7 cm (17.2 in).[1] It is one of the few placoderms for which complete bodies are known.
