Manticocerasman Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Today I went to the "Belgian institute of natural history" to donate my placoderm that I found in Oktober. It is verry likely that it is a new species , but only time will tel. The local placoderm specialist wil work on this specimen for the description.
