Bothriolepis prehistoric fish
Bothriolepis sp. fish in a lake in the Devonian period (408-360 million years ago), computer artwork. Bothriolepis sp. fish are amongst the earliest fish known. They had plates of armour over the front part of their bodies, but none on their tails. Fossils of Bothriolepis sp. fish have been found throughout the world in rocks from the middle and late Devonian period. They were mainly freshwater fish, but could tolerate sea water as well. They had two lungs, and could survive out of water for a time. They fed on algae and detritus at the sea or lake bed. This model is from the Devonian Sea Simulator, an interactive virtual reality model of Devonian marine life

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Bothriolepis prehistoric fish, a remarkable species that thrived in lakes during the Devonian period, approximately 408-360 million years ago. Created through computer artwork, this illustration vividly depicts the unique characteristics of Bothriolepis sp. fish, one of the earliest known fish species. Notably, these ancient creatures boasted an impressive armor consisting of plates covering their front bodies while leaving their tails unprotected. Fossils of Bothriolepis sp. fish have been discovered worldwide within rocks from the middle and late Devonian period. Although primarily freshwater inhabitants, these resilient beings could also tolerate saltwater environments. Equipped with two lungs, they possessed the extraordinary ability to survive out of water for extended periods. Feeding on algae and detritus found at the sea or lake bed, Bothriolepis sp. played a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance during its time on Earth. The image originates from the Devonian Sea Simulator—an interactive virtual reality model showcasing marine life from this era—providing viewers with an immersive experience into our planet's past. This computer artwork serves as a testament to paleontology and offers valuable insights into extinct vertebrates like Bothriolepis sp. , reminding us of Earth's rich history and diverse ecosystems that have shaped life as we know it today.
