Description: | Coccosteus was a fish that lived in Lake Orcadie, a fresh water lake that covered a large area of Scotland 380 million years ago during the Devonian period. Its head and upper body were covered with protective bony plates while the rest of its body was scaly. This fish was a hunter, the bony plates in its mouth had sharp edges, a bit like steak knives, which it used like shears to bite off bits of its prey. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | fossils natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
