SHARK WEEK FACTS- Thursday
Edestus giganteus
-A eugeneodontid fish, which is an order of sharks that possessed freaky tooth-whorls
-Lived during the Late Devonian and Late Carboniferous
-A dentist's worst nightmare (and everyone else's)
-A face only a mother could love
SHARK WEEK FACTS- Monday
Dunkeleosteus terrelli
-Large placoderm (armored) fish
-Lived through the Late Devonian period
-Uses it sharp skull to chop and chomp food. That's very metal.
-Very bad at kissing
-Some media depictions have a xenomorph tongue for some reason.
@ChelseaHerps the jaggedhead gurnard, serving devonian realness
@Geeky_dino @TedRechlin 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
#JurassicJune Day 5: Dunkleosteus
So, not a #dinosaur, 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. #dinosaurs #JurassicWorld #JurassicPark

Large filter feeding fishies were at in the Paleaozoic too! Toothless placoderm Titanichthys was likely hoovering up plankton in the Devonian. Well done @ICALmanchester PhD student @SamCoatham on publishing his @BristolPalaeo master's research. @RSocPublishing 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.
We welcome @miawroe from @omnisterra1 for her first guest #article. #UnlockingThePast this #FossilFriday as we venture into the #Devonian, seeing how life further terrestrialised and why this was the Age of #Fish: https://t.co/ScM70cWII5
It's #TrilobiteTuesday again, so here's a Walliserops on display at the @hmns. 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.
