piranha Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 This recent paper utilizes 3D modeling and scanning to update the classic Devonian fish. One of the new discoveries shows there is no indication of mobility between the cephalic and thoracic armors as has been previously hypothesized based on inaccurate reconstructions. Béchard, I., Arsenault, F., Cloutier, R., & Kerr, J. (2014) The Devonian placoderm fish Bothriolepis canadensis revisited with three-dimensional digital imagery. Palaeontologia Electronica, 17(1):1-19 OPEN ACCESS PDF **Content warning advisory as the paper includes photos of a wonderful Bothriolepis that was sliced into 11 cross-sections for further analysis of the flattening and distortion of the specimen.
