Description: | Pterichthyodes was an armoured fish. Its head and part of its body were covered with hard bony plates. Just behind its head, it had a paddle on either side of its body, also covered in bony plates, and attached by a ball and socket joint, a bit like the joint in the human shoulder. This fish lived near the bottom of Lake Orcadie, a large inland lake in Scotland, and found its food in the mud of the lake floor. | 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 |
