Doryaspis swim amongst a bed of Anthozoa
8-inch-long jawless fish of the genus Doryaspis swim amongst a bed of Anthozoa of the order Actiniaria (AKA sea anemones) 410 million years ago in what is today the Svalbard archipelago in Norway. Doryaspis (AKA Lyktaspis) was armored with bony spines and a long snout that had spines set along its length (somewhat like the saw of a modern sawfish). Doryaspis mouth opened above, rather than below the snout, and is believed to have dined on plankton. However the snout may have been used to stir up small crustaceans from the mud or sand.
In addition to a variety of anemones are palm-like crinoids (class Crinoidea), pentagonal-shaped sea stars, nautilus-like ammonites, and squid-like nautiloid cephalopods of the genus Orthoceras

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back 410 million years ago to the Svalbard archipelago in Norway, where a mesmerizing scene unfolds beneath the ocean's surface. In this ancient ecosystem, Doryaspis, an extraordinary jawless fish of the genus Doryaspis (also known as Lyktaspis), gracefully swims amongst a vibrant bed of Anthozoa, commonly referred to as sea anemones. Doryaspis was no ordinary fish; it boasted a formidable armor adorned with bony spines and possessed a long snout lined with sharp spines reminiscent of a modern sawfish. While its mouth opened above rather than below its snout, scientists believe that Doryaspis primarily fed on plankton. However, there is speculation that its unique snout may have also been used to stir up small crustaceans from the surrounding mud or sand. The underwater landscape captured in this image showcases not only various species of sea anemones but also palm-like crinoids, pentagonal-shaped sea stars, nautilus-like ammonites, and squid-like nautiloid cephalopods belonging to the genus Orthoceras. It offers us a glimpse into the diverse array of marine life that thrived during the Paleozoic era. As we marvel at this digitally generated illustration created by Walter Myers for Stocktrek Images, we are reminded of Earth's rich natural history and evolution. This image serves as a testament to our planet's remarkable past and highlights the intricate relationships between different organisms within prehistoric ecosystems.
