I really like Fig. 2 and Fig. 1 (except for the head, imho more catfishlike mouthtentacles would fit much better).
Great work !

Very Snaiadi. Is that what what you're going for?

Also, "polygnath" means "many jaws", but I only see one a mandible and maxilla (i.e. one set of jaws).

Where is Stergyounopsos second head?
Is it fused with the first head or what?

This is cool. I like weird things that live (or lived) in the sea. Well done!

I like all of those, but particularly love the Titanognathis with its exotic head and thorax structure and detailed fins. Are those the equivalent of Earth's sarcopterygii ?
The Stergyounopso is a killer too, with those... "multi-fin flippers" ? (damn I wish I was better at english). The stalked eyes are a nice touch, too.
The Granaldis looks like it has an interesting head, too bad it's not detailed.
Awesome work anyway

I have no idea what the hell there are but I really like them, especially fig.2, because of the stripes, shape of the tail, and gill-looking things. very nice!
