多鳃鱼 / Polybranchiaspis My many gill openings remind you that breathing equipment had a long history before human noses! 我的许多鳃孔提醒你:在人类鼻子出现以前,呼吸装备已经有很长的历史啦! Sources Internal anatomy of the polybranchiaspids (Agnatha, Galeaspida) https://www.nature.com/articles/282833a0 Mass extinction triggered the early radiations of jawed vertebrates and their jawless relatives (gnathostomes). https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aeb2297 Species reference https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=Polybranchiaspis Research context Polybranchiaspis represents the diversity of armored jawless fishes. Comparing its gill openings and head shield with other galeaspids helps reconstruct the anatomical background from which jawed vertebrates emerged.
