Dunkeleosteus terrelli

-Large placoderm (armored) fish

Very much agreed -- and he's also one of the few paleoartists I know that makes paintings featuring only plants. Perhaps even more evocative than 'normal' paleoart that focuses on the animals. Here's an example from his website : Devonian Archaeosigillaria

So, not a but a giant extinct shark-like creature from the Devonian period. It had a gigantic armoured head, formed by overlapping plates and huge sharp teeth.

Large filter feeding fishies were at in the Paleaozoic too! Toothless placoderm Titanichthys was likely hoovering up plankton in the Devonian. Well done PhD student on publishing his master's research. Open Science https://t.co/K5pIDcQFRf

Each period of geologic time on this plane corresponds to a specific color of mana:

Blue - Enigmazoic, Age of Mystery - Cambrian to the Devonian period

“Gardenhead and Jointed Neck”.
Heterosteus asmussi, a 6 meter long freshwater placoderm fish from the Devonian. It may have been an ambush predator, spending most of its time close to the sediment.

I really liked painting this one.

@ myself: Consideration for the future: Fish anthro with limbs based on early transitional devonian fish and amphibians like ichtyostega and acanthostega

Eai pessoal, que horas são em? É hora de adquirir o saber!
Hoje iremos falar um pouco sobre o incrível Dunkleosteus(Dunkleosteus terrelli).
Antes vamos falar sobre o período Devoniano. Os especialistas os chama de " idade dos peixes, pois surgem os placodermos+

Dongeng dari pertengahan era Devonian, ±392 juta tahun yg lalu.

Konon saat itu Bumi sangat indah, bersih, segar, tanpa polusi sedikit pun.

Tersebutlah Sarcopterygii yg sedang menderita depresi berat akibat patah hati. Ia membenci segalanya, termasuk planetnya sendiri.

It's again, so here's a Walliserops on display at the . It's not clear what that crazy trident on its head was for, but some think it was like the horn of a rhinoceros beetle, which is used for fighting and digging among males. Devonian, Morocco.

Speedpaint/sketch. Woke up today and had this idea of depicting a swimming Acanthostega (a well known aquatic Devonian stegocephalian stem-tetrapod from Greenland). Who can say no to depicting these cool animals with eight digits?!
