Description
This was one of my first creations, made around 2012 or less, it was inspired by a picture of Nemo ramjet of a "land placoderm".Mainly here shows what some ideas about what might have been the way they had taken, from an Antiarchi ancestor (The Bothriolepis for example)
the first part of the chain shows the possible transition of aquatic forms to adapt to living on land (a, b, c), after that, seen in the final stage one species with a reptilian aspect, and the third limb fully developed (d); on one part, it is appreciated that a portion of these evolved similarly to terrestrial amniotas (e, f, g); on the other, (h, i) is appreciated that evolved a form was maintained with their amphibious life style.

AlexPls and I have a sort of mini-project all about tripedal placoderms! You could help us out with it if you want.
The sort of promo image is one of the only things in my gallery (I just started to upload).

It sounds good, and the design your placoderm is pretty good. I can help, however, I will not always be available to make art, but probably for some ideas.
Do you have an idea of how looks all of this terrestrial tripedal placoderms in your alternative earth?

Well if you mean what I think you mean, most creatures have stiff almost insect-like hair and sharp claws. The birds, if you were interested, use their front legs as wings and still have three hands to catch prey and perch.
The largest herbivores (the largest is TWICE the size of a blue whale) use all of their limbs for walking so the Churrutuga, the largest walking animal is kind of like a five-legged mixture of a tyrannosaur, a sauropod and an elephant.

I'm not sure I understand how the third limb appeared. It seems to me that the tail became the third limb and the dorsal fin became a new tail - is that correct?
