Climatius sp. prehistoric fish
Climatius sp. fish in the sea in the Devonian period (408-360 million years ago), computer artwork. Climatius sp. fish were acanthodians, which were some of the earliest known jawed fish. They were also early examples of fish with paired fins. It is thought that these changes allowed the fish to adapt to a more predatory role than their ancestors. Their skeletons were made out of cartilage rather than bone, much like modern-day sharks and rays. This model is from the Devonian Sea Simulator, an interactive virtual reality model of Devonian marine life

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible Climatius sp. prehistoric fish, which thrived in the ancient seas during the Devonian period, approximately 408-360 million years ago. Created through computer artwork, this illustration brings to life these remarkable acanthodians - one of the earliest known jawed fish. What sets Climatius sp. apart is their pioneering development of paired fins and a cartilaginous skeleton similar to modern-day sharks and rays. These adaptations allowed them to assume a more predatory role than their ancestors, marking an important evolutionary milestone in marine life. The image is part of the Devonian Sea Simulator project, an interactive virtual reality model that immerses viewers into the vibrant world of Devonian marine creatures. This cutting-edge simulation provides a glimpse into Earth's distant past, offering valuable insights into our planet's rich paleontological history. As we marvel at this stunning depiction of Climatius sp. , it serves as a reminder of how diverse and awe-inspiring life on Earth has been throughout its existence. The intricate details captured in this artwork invite us to explore and appreciate these extinct species that once roamed our oceans millions of years ago. Science Photo Library continues to provide invaluable resources for scientific research and education by sharing extraordinary visuals like this one – bridging gaps between disciplines and inspiring curiosity about our planet's fascinating past.
