Devonian armored fish Drepanaspis

This is a very early jawless armored fish, Drepanaspis gemuendensis.

The fossil comes from the Lower Devonian (Upper Siegenian/Pragian) of Odenspiel in Germany.
This specimen is approximately 410 million years old.

The fish is slightly disarticulated, but it is not a composite—meaning it was not assembled 
from several individuals (which unfortunately, was and is often done).

The preparation was carried out very conscientiously and carefully, with the fossils exposed 
on both sides of the stone.

The fossil measures approximately 41 x 31 cm.

It is an absolutely authentic exhibit. There are only a few glued joints but no other 
manipulation whatsoever. Nothing has been added, varnished, colored, or otherwise "touched up."

Remains of these rare fish are among the most sought-after rarities and are highly sought after 
by collectors and museums.
Unfortunately, the site is no longer accessible to collectors.
