Cobcrephora is a genus of that resembles the Palaeoloricates, known from the Silurian of Gotland.[1] Its interpretation as a polyplacophoran is widely challenged.[1]

Its mollusc shell is unique, because Cobcrephora was described on the basis of isolated phosphatic sclerites.[2] Its overlapping sclerites are arched and small, comprise two shell layers, and have lamellar projections.[1]
