That is such a cool take on the armoured fish concept!!!
Firedrake replied
Thanks, and there will be more!!
I can’t believe that amazing creature. The Age of Fish they called that period…I’m going through a bit of an age of fish myself!
Dang, how crap does this piece look in the square thumbnail… :(
Damian
And Dunkelosteus is an awesome muse! No wonder this guy needs armour with them swimming around :)
Damian
Haha, yeah, the square thumb misses most of the action :)
And I can’t believe I pasted a typo above…!
So I’m looking forward to more. Sooo many cool marine beasties from the Devonian.

I love birds and fish and all the surreal creatures in between.
Firedrake replied
Birds, fish and reptiles seem to always attract my attention more than mammals, it seems! Not sure why :)

That big fishy eye gets me
