The armor of armored #fish started out as part of the #nervoussystem
It turns out that in early branches of the fish family tree, like the sturgeon, the neural crest forms the bony armor that covers them, suggesting an ancient role in #bone formation that goes back to the armored fish of the #Devonian. Cells from the developing #spinalcord make the #sturgeon's bony, armored plates.
