Protopteraspis Gosseleti (Vertebrata: Pteraspidomorphi: Heterostraci) from the Lower Devonian of Shropshire, England
Abstract
New Protopteraspis material from Shropshire is sufficiently similar to Protopteraspis leathensis from the Welsh Borderland, and the type-species Protopteraspis gosseleti from France, to justify transfering P. leathensis to P. gosseleti. The Anglo-Welsh, biostratigraphic leathensis Zone is changed to the Protopteraspis Zone (sensu Blieck and Janvier 1989). Possible lifestyles are discussed for Protopteraspis gosseleti.
