Description: | Coccosteus was an armoured fish. The head and the upper part of its body were covered with hard, armour-like plates, but the rest of its body was unprotected. It would have measured about 45cm long. Coccosteus lived in Lake Orcadie, a large fresh water lake that covered parts of Scotland about 400 million years ago. This fish, and the other armoured fish that were alive during the Devonian, are now extinct. | 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 |
