DevonianDigger Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Came across something interesting today while excavating the Bay View Coral bed at the site. First thought was a hypostome from a Dipleura dekayi. It is not. There are symmetrical sutures in it, which are pretty interesting. Wondering if anyone has some literature on Devonian fishes from the Hamilton. The only thing I can think of is placoderm. It's about 1mm thick and 4-5cm across. Sorry for the poor photo, I took it in situ with my phone. 4 Jay A.
