Ohioan Placoderms?

[FossilSniper]

I have heard about placoderms being uncovered from the Devonian of Ohio, but am unable to find any references to specific placoderm fossil specimens and where they are in Ohio.
Can someone please shed some light for me on the subject? (I'm looking for ones just from the Ohio area  )

I consider placoderms awesome! Thanks a ton!

All I have is what some here call technical literature(example below):

In addition, here is a LINK to the section on Placodermi and Acanthodii in my pdf library here on The Fossil Forum.  There are links to quite a few articles regarding placoderms in areas close to Ohio as well as to other more general articles about this fascinating class of fishes.

There are displays of Devonian placoderms and sharks at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
