[edit] Panzerfische!
I see that the Germans refer to the Placodermi as Panzerfische.

[edit] More Info Needed!
There especially needs to be a bit of history as to where and when the first fossils were found and why the name has been changed. CFLeon 06:18, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Source
From which source comes this: "The discovery of Dunkleosteus armor with unhealed bite marks strongly suggest that they cannibalized each other when the opportunity arose."? Dropzink (talk) 19:50, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Tone
I have tagged the 'Description section for editing to improve encyclopedic tone. It tends to be too informal and has too many unscientific asides such as as stating that Dunleosteus was "highly evolved" for the Devonian. Eluchil404 (talk) 04:13, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
