They sure are :) 

Didn’t know placoderms had them. Learn something new everyday!

Everything everyone else said!

Wow. 

I like the plant material almost as much - any plant from before the Pennsylvanian I find interesting because it's so much rarer.

Your photography isn't so bad, for indoor shots. I'm usually worse.
