Description

Habitat

A fresh development had arisen in the skull of this tiny fish. The cheek bones and the hyomandibular bones, which attached the upper jaws to the braincase, both became upright .So, the jaws were suspended vertically under the braincase. This fresh arrangement allowed the mouth to be opened wider, while at the same time the gill chambers coming after the jaws were greatly prolonged.
