Product information "Placoderm remains, Devonian, Eifel, GER"

Rare find from the German Eifel!

Placodermi, or armored fish, were the first dominant group of jaw-bearing fish (to which we technically also belong). They evolved in the Silurian and had their peak in the Devonian, until a major extinction event drastically reduced their numbers and they died out completely by the end of the Devonian. Like most early fish, they also had a bony shell, which can be well preserved.

Age: Lower Devonian, Emsian
Locality: Willwerath, Prüm, Eifel, Germany
Size: Fossil: 2 -4 cm; hand piece: up to 7 x 4 x 2 cm

The colors on the photo may differ slightly from the original due to technical reasons.
