Romundina and the evolutionary origin of teeth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Theories on the origin of vertebrate teeth have long focused on chondrichthyans as reflecting a primitive condition—but this is better informed by the extinct placoderms, which constitute a sister clade or grade to the living gnathostomes.

Bioclastic bottom‐current deposits of a Devonian contourite terrace: Facies variability and depositional architecture (Tafilalt Platform, Morocco)

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 70, Issue 5, Page 1413-1471, August 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT The study examines bioclastic carbonate contourites that arise from the broad spectrum of bottom‐current related sedimentary processes ranging from deposition to erosion. The result of the intermittent accumulation of sediment are thin and condensed successions with abundant hiatuses.

Endocranial morphology of the petalichthyid placoderm Ellopetalichthys scheii from the Middle Devonian of Arctic Canada, with remarks on the inner ear and neck joint morphology of placoderms

open access: yesCanadian journal of earth sciences (Print), 2020
Petalichthyid and “acanthothoracid” placoderms have taken pivotal positions in the debate on placoderm — and, by extension, jawed vertebrate — relationships owing to perceived similarities with certain jawless vertebrates.

The Hunsrück Slate Konservat‐Lagerstätte

open access: yesGeology Today, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 72-76, March/April 2023., 2023
The Lower Devonian Hunsrück Slate in western Germany is world‐famous for its exceptionally preserved and beautiful fossils. What makes this Konservat‐Lagerstätte so fascinating is its unique style of pyritization that has perfectly captured an entire ecosystem, from delicate echinoderms with preserved soft tissues to the Lovecraftian Mimetaster.
