A pair of fossilized fish head shield of a Bothriolepis on original matrix or rock.

A fossilized partial placoderm head shield from a Bothriolepis canadensis from the Escuminac Formation in Escuminac Bay, Quebec, Canada. Bothriolepis was a highly prolific Devonian aged genus of armored fish found across the world. #FossilFriday

Go my Bothriolepis... This year's fish pecan pie! Bothriolepis was a peculiar-looking placoderm from the Devonian period or the Paleozoic. It had two long pointed pectoral fins and silly little eyes on top of its head.

A screenshot from the pixel art website Wplace at Miguasha, Quebec that has a small pixel Bothriolepis canadensis drawn nearby. It is a fossilized armored fish from the Devonian era that was found there in the Escuminac Formation.

People are drawing prehistoric animals in the places they were found, and didn't see anything for the Escuminac Formation in Miguasha,QC. So I drew my fav devonian fish found there; Bothriolepis canadensis :)

Another paleoart catalogue bop with a Bothriolepis. Another funky placoderm fish. Love how the patterns came out on this! 🦑
