Description

The colored version of my drawing of Devonian fish found at the mid Devonian Rockport Limestone Formation near Alpena, Michigan, USA. It's not Rembrandt, but it gives people an idea of what was swimming here ~385mya. 1. shark Tamiobatis/Ctenacanthus. 2. Unidentified ray finned fish (found by me). 3. Placoderm Protiatanichthys rockportensis. 4. Acanthodian Machaeracanthus. 5. Palcoderm Mylostoma. 6. Unidentified petalichthyid placoderm by me, most likely Macropetalichthys. 7. Placoderm Dinichthys/Dunkleosteus? (supposed to be late Devonian, but thats what the paper said). 8. Placoderm Dinomylostoma. 9. Placoderm Ptyctodus. 10. Placoderm Holonema rugosum. 11. Stromatoporoid. 12. Stromatoporoid. 13. Rugose coral Cylindrophyllum. 14. Standard Horn coral. 15. Brachiopods. 16. Conodont agnathans Icriodus lateriscens lateriscenes.

Two of these specimens are on display at the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology.
