Monomerista

Monomerista is a genus of fossilized agnathans, a group of ancient fish that lacked jaws. They are known from several deposits in North America and are believed to have lived during the Devonian period, around 400 million years ago. Monomerista fossils are often found in shales and limestones, where they display a characteristic five-to-eight ridges running along their body.

Monomerista fossils are usually straightforward to identify, as their body shape, along with the distinctive ridges, is easily recognizable. The body of Monomerista is fusiform, or spindle-shaped, and can vary in length depending on the specific fossil. One of the most notable characteristics of Monomerista fossils is the presence of unsupported scales, which give a rough, polygonal texture to the body.

Monomerista is rarely associated with other fossils of benthic organisms, and their habitats likely differed from those of more tubular, vertically-living agnathans. Additionally, the talon-shaped fins and short tail flap suggest an opportunistic, or lightly predated species. It has been noted that Monomerista fossils generally lack growth intervals, indicating a constant growth rate. Thus, Monomerista most likely lived a short-lived, active lifestyle.

Fossil finds of Monomerista are largely confined to North America. Assessments of global distribution and fish assemblage fidelity reveal that Monomerista likely hit the deep-water habitats somewhat briefly. Some research on environmentally-sediment trends, cartilaginous deuterostone space displacement adipoisal solids suggest a short-lived environment where Monomerista were briefly present.
