The head or skull includes the skull roof (a set of bones covering the brain, eyes and nostrils), the snout (from the eye to the forward-most point of the upper jaw), the operculum or gill cover (absent in sharks and jawless fish), and the cheek, which extends from the eye to the preopercle. The operculum and preopercle may or may not have spines.

[13]: 206 Thelodonts were morphologically very similar, and probably closely related, to fish of the classes Heterostraci and Anaspida, differing mainly in their covering of distinctive, small, spiny scales.

Opercular series in bony fish: operculum (yellow), preoperculum (red), interoperculum (green) and suboperculum (pink) The operculum is a series of bones found in bony fish and chimaeras that serves as a facial support structure and a protective covering for the gills ; it is also used for respiration and feeding.
