Placoderm fauna from the Connemarra Formation (?late Lochkovian, Early Devonian), central New South Wales

Two new placoderm taxa, based on isolated dermal plates from the head and trunk shields and body scales, are described from ?late Lochkovian (Early Devonian) limestones of the Connemarra Formation, central New South Wales. The taxa are Connemarraspis youngi gen. et sp. nov. and Narrominaspis longi g...

This placoderm fauna shows a wide range of affinities, encompassing taxa with similarities to species from the Lochkovian of Arctic Canada, Europe and Vietnam.
