Squamation and scale morphology at the root of jawed vertebrates [PDF]
eLife, 2022 Placoderms, as the earliest branching jawed vertebrates, are crucial to understanding how the characters of crown gnathostomes comprising Chondrichthyes and Osteichthyes evolved from their stem relatives.

Morphology and phylogeny of Bothriolepis yunnanensis (Placodermi, Antiarcha) from the Middle Devonian of China [PDF]
Swiss Journal of PalaeontologyBothriolepis yunnanensis Liu, 1962, was first described based on an anterior median dorsal plate (assigned here as the lectotype) and a posterior median dorsal plate (assigned here as the paralectotype) from the Shangshuanghe Formation (Eifelian ...

A novel specimen-based mid-Paleozoic dataset of antiarch placoderms (the most basal jawed vertebrates) [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2023 Antiarcha data are essential to quantitative studies of basal jawed vertebrates. The absence of structured data on key groups of early vertebrates, such as Antiarcha, has lagged in understanding their diversity and distribution patterns.

A new tubalepid (Antiarcha, Placodermi) from the Middle Devonian of Huize, Yunnan, China
Abstract A new tubalepid antiarch, Tongdulepis concavus gen. et sp. nov., is described from the Middle Devonian (Qujing Formation, late Eifelian) of Huize County, Qujing, northeastern Yunnan, China. It differs from other antiarchs in the trapezoidal premedian plate, absence of postmarginal plate (except Tubalepis), spade-shaped preorbital ...
