So today I learned about jaggedhead gurnards! They’re apparently a type of armored sea robin, but they really remind me of some prehistoric fish like placoderms and ostracoderms!
Like other sea robins they use specially modified fins to walk around on the seafloor, but their armor and spade-like heads are unique to them.
