New findings in a 400 million-year-old Devonian placoderm shed light on jaw structure and function in basal gnathostomes
Abstract Arthodire placoderms have been proposed as the sister group of Chinese ‘maxillate’ placoderms plus all the more crownward gnathostomes. These basal groups provide key information for understanding the early evolution of jaws. Here, we test previous assumptions about placoderm jaw structure...
