Taxonomic revision of buchanosteoid placoderms (Arthrodira) from the early devonian of south-eastern australia and arctic Russia

open access: yes, 2015
The 'buchanosteid' placoderms are best known from the Early Devonian of Australia, but also occur in China, Russia, Central Asia and the Middle East.

The origin of the myelination program in vertebrates

open access: yes, 2008
SummaryThe myelin sheath was a transformative vertebrate acquisition, enabling great increases in impulse propagation velocity along axons. Not all vertebrates possess myelinated axons, however, and when myelin first appeared in the vertebrate lineage is

Hyperossification in the vertebral column of Devonian placoderm fishes (Arthrodira)

open access: yesJournal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2020
Skeletal bone enlargement (hyperossification) was thought to only occur in endochondral and dermal bones (e.g., endoskeletons of marine tetrapods and dermal bones of certain jawless vertebrates, placoderms, and teleost fishes). However, in some arthrodiran placoderms (basal jawed vertebrates), i.e., Millerosteus minor, Compagopiscis croucheri ...

New morphological information on, and species of placoderm fish Africanaspis (Arthrodira, Placodermi) from the Late Devonian of South Africa.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Here we present a new species of placoderm fish, Africanaspis edmountaini sp. nov., and redescribe Africanaspis doryssa on the basis of new material collected from the type locality of Africanaspis.

Vertebrate Biostratigraphy of the Witteberg Group and the Devonian-Carboniferous boundary in South Africa

open access: yes, 2016
Witteberg Group rocks are Late Devonian to Early Carboniferous in age. Comparison with Laurasian sea-level curves has correlated the earliest Carboniferous Tournasian transgression, with the argillaceous Kweekvlei Formation, overlying the arenaceous ...

Life reconstruction of the non-marine component of the Waterloo Farm biota.

open access: yes, 2023
Hyneria udlezinye is shown together with the tetrapods Umzantsia amazana and Tutusius umlambo [11], the placoderms Groenlandaspis riniensis and Bothriolepis africana [19], the coelacanth Serenichthys kowiensis [27], the lungfish Isityumzi mlomomde [28 ...

The body musculature of Arthrodire Placoderms

open access: yes, 2009
The exceptionally preserved Late Devonian (Frasnian) fishes from the Gogo Formation, Western Australia, have recently been recognized to contain, sometimes extensive, remains of musculature preserved in three dimensions.

An antiarch placoderm shows that pelvic girdles arose at the root of jawed vertebrates

open access: yes, 2012
Almost all gnathostomes or jawed vertebrates (including osteichthyans, chondrichthyans, \u27acanthodians\u27 and most placoderms) possess paired pectoral and pelvic fins.

A simplified phylogeny of jawed vertebrates modified from Brazeau [14].

open access: yes, 2013
‘Placoderms’ and ‘Acanthodians’ are extinct, probably paraphyletic, groups. Representative scales of osteichthyans (Cheirolepis), acanthodians (Nostolepis), stem chondrichthyans (Cladoselache) and ‘placoderms’ (Ohiolepis) are modified from [52], [53 ...

Bioerosion in the Late Devonian placoderm remains from the Holy Cross Mountains, Poland

open access: yesActa Palaeontologica Polonica
We report the first occurrence of trace fossils in placoderm bones from the Upper Devonian of the Holy Cross Mountains. A taxonomic analysis of three ichnogenera revealed the earliest evidence of Sulculites (ie., Sulculites bellus), characterised by ...
