Cowielepis is an extinct genus of jawless fish in the class Anaspida. It is from the Cowie Harbour fish bed ( Cowie Formation) of Stonehaven, Scotland, which age is considered as the Silurian ( Wenlock to Ludlow), [2] [3] or Early Devonian ( Lochkovian). [4] [5]
It was possibly a nectonic filter, of active locomotion, due to its physiognomy.
Lochkovian of United Kingdom ( Scotland). [6]
