The cephalaspids of Great Britain, By Erik Andersson Stensi\uf6 and British Museum (Natural History) Cite. Topics: Cephalaspidea, Great Britain, Palaeontology, Palaeozoic Cited by: Cephalaspis (meaning 'head shield') is a genus of armoured fish in the early Devonian about million years ago (mya). It was one of the jawless fishes, or ostracoderms, which were common at the time.. They were discovered in the first half of the 19th century in the Old Red Sandstone of Britain. Louis Agassiz named it in He had been to Scotland, and seen Hugh Miller's : Osteostraci. Cephalaspis, one of an early group of vertebrates called ostracoderms, possessed an external bony head shield, but probably its internal skeleton was not ossified to any great extent. Its eyes were situated on the dorsal side of the flat head; the ventral placement of its mouth indicates that Cephalaspis was a bottom-feeding is probable that Cephalaspis lived by straining organic.
Description. Like its relatives, Cephalaspis was heavily armored, presumedly to defend against predatory placoderms and eurypterids, as well as to serve as a source of calcium for metabolic functions in calcium-poor freshwater had sensory patches along the rim and center of its head shield, which were used to sense for worms and other burrowing organisms in the mud. Like with all DK books, this book is absolutely beautiful. Anyone with interest in Great Britan and it's history will love this book. Check out all the DK publishing books. The Smithsonian series, the Ultimate visual guide series, and the American museum and natural history series are all terrific. All make great additions to your s: The writer Juliet Gardiner tells us what she likes about s Britain and the historian David Kynaston considers the social history of post-war Britain. The political scientist, David Runciman, chooses books on London Olympic history and author Jonathan Keates reflects on some great British letter writers. The book was issued a Britains catalogue number, was issued in two 'versions', one with a set of four new figures, two Scots' Greys and two fusiliers, in a box, the other with a dustcover. The book IS expensive, but well worth the cost, and I have used it innumerable times to research a figure, read the text, or to just enjoy the s: 5.
