The Protaspididae are an extinct marine family of fish-like vertebrates. The protaspidids existed in the early Devonian period, representing a transitional form between the Pteraspididae and the Psammosteida, bearing the broad head shield shape of the latter, due to a more benthic (bottom-dwelling) existence.
