Several Bothriolepis emerge from a shallow tributary onto dry land
Several Bothriolepis emerge from a shallow tributary onto dry land 380 million years ago during the Late Devonian. Bothriolepis is believed to have been primarily an aquatic creature, however theres evidence that it may have possessed lungs in addition to gills. Bothriolepis also had jointed arms and a rigid skeleton, leading to speculation that Bothriolepis may have been able to travel over land.
Flora in this scene includes ground moss, horsetails and lycopsids

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back 380 million years ago to the Late Devonian period, where several Bothriolepis emerge from a shallow tributary onto dry land. Bothriolepis, believed to be primarily an aquatic creature, surprises us with evidence suggesting it may have possessed lungs in addition to gills. With its jointed arms and rigid skeleton, speculation arises that Bothriolepis might have been capable of traversing over land. The scene is adorned with a variety of flora including ground moss, horsetails, and lycopsids. These plants paint a vivid picture of the prehistoric era when life was evolving and adapting at an astonishing pace. The landscape showcases the wonders of paleontology and paleobotany during the Paleozoic era. As we delve into this ancient ecosystem captured within the frame, we witness both bottom feeders and detritivores coexisting alongside Bothriolepis. The presence of other species such as pleuromeia adds depth to our understanding of this primeval world. Walter Myers' digitally generated image transports us through time and space to explore not only the physical geography but also the rich biodiversity that once thrived in these environments. It serves as a reminder that Earth's history is filled with remarkable creatures whose survival relied on their unique morphological adaptations. This awe-inspiring illustration invites us to contemplate our own existence by immersing ourselves in Earth's wilderness before human intervention—a testament to nature's resilience throughout millennia.
