    The three-dimensionally articulated oral apparatus of a #Devonian heterostracan sheds light on feeding in #Palaeozoic jawless fishes royalsocietypublishing.org/doi

    "The images revealed the structure and arrangement of finger-like bones that project from the lower lip of the #animal’s mouth, which the #scientists believe acted to control the mouth’s size and shape as it captured food particles from surrounding water"
