| Abstract | Two placoderms of different orders from a concretion of the Zyabrevo locality (Evlanovo Regional Stage, Frasnian) in central Russia are described. Five plates of the ventral and lateral sides of the trunk armor are assigned to a plourdosteid arthrodire. Three bones located in the region of its stomach are determined as a juvenile ptyctodontid, Ctenurella sp. Records providing actual evidence of predation in Devonian vertebrates are extremely scarce. Finds of this kind are listed for the first time. |
