    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… :(

    And Dunkelosteus is an awesome muse! No wonder this guy needs armour with them swimming around :)

    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.

    Birds, fish and reptiles seem to always attract my attention more than mammals, it seems! Not sure why :)
