MUSEUM QUALITY PLACODERM Coccosteus cuspidatus (Miller, 1841) Middle Devonian – approx. 380 million years Origin: Orkney, Scotland Authentic specimen of Coccosteus cuspidatus, one of the most iconic placoderms of the Middle Devonian. The slab shows the cranial region and part of the body with excellent contrast between fossil and matrix. This species represents one of the earliest armored vertebrates and comes from one of Europe’s classic paleontological localities. Very good preservation: the cranial plates are clearly visible, the matrix is solid and intact, and no evident restoration is present. Ideal both for collectors and for display, whether in a museum setting or as a highlight in a private Paleozoic vertebrate collection. A rare and sought-after piece, with documented origin from the Orkney Islands.
