On the Sunday of the Paleo 2026 symposium, we had a real treat - a workshop on placoderms and other early fishes by Dr. Melina Jobbins of the University of Manitoba! She took us through the evolutionary history of these different groups and then set us loose on a collection of lovely specimens. We got to practice identifying different features of these groups and 'seeing scientifically'.

For @draakvuur.bsky.social , Ashton on the chunky bitey blow-up #fish.

I don’t feel like the composition feels quite right and the #inflatable #dunkleosteus is a bit too fat. (This is the redesigned neon one, by the way.)

Guess who found his red-cyan #3D glasses and some old photo experiments. (Photographed the feesh at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, May 2011.)
