Myllokunmingiidae is a group of very early, jawless prehistoric fish (Agnathans) which lived during the Cambrian period.[2] The Myllokunmingiids are the earliest known group of craniates. The group contains only three known genera, Haikouichthys , Myllokunmingia , and Zhongjianichthys . Their fossils have been found only in the Maotianshan Shales lagerstätte.
