Ancient Placoderm Turns Vertebrate Evolution on its Head

The ancient placoderm fish Brindabellaspis might be the ancestor of modern jawed vertebrates according to new scientific research

Dunkleosteus was a large Placoderm (arthodire) fish) that lived in the late Devonian period, about 380–360 million years ago. It grew to around 10 metres (33 feet), and was probably the top predator of its time.

Dunkleosteus (meaning "Dunkle's bone") was a large placoderm fish that lived in the late Devonian period, about 382–358 million years ago. It has been estimated to have grew to 4.1 metres (12.3 feet), and was the top predator of its time and the Paleozoic era as a whole. Dunkleosteus belongs to the Placodermi, a large, paraphyletic clade of armor-plated fishes likely ancestral to all living gnathostomes. More precisely, it was an arthodire, part of a clade which possessed skulls that had two…
