Squamation and scale morphology at the root of jawed vertebrates

Yajing Wang et al.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive description of the squamation and scale morphology of a primitive taxon of Antiarcha, Parayunnanolepis xitunensis, based on the virtual restoration of an articulated specimen using X-ray computed tomography. The study also describes the histological structure of yunnanolepidoid scales for the first time. The results suggest that the high regionalization of squamation and the bipartite histological structure of scales might be primitive features for antiarchs and jawed vertebrates in general.

The oldest complete jawed vertebrates from the early Silurian of China

You-an Zhu et al.

Summary: Molecular studies suggest that jawed vertebrates originated no later than the Late Ordovician period. Newly discovered fossils from the early Silurian provide important insights into the early diversification of jawed vertebrates.

A new Silurian fish close to the common ancestor of modern gnathostomes

Qiang Li et al.

Summary: The Silurian Period witnessed the rise of jawed vertebrates and the discovery of a new maxillate placoderm species in Chongqing, China sheds light on the early diversification of these vertebrates. The articulated specimen of Bianchengichthys micros provides new insights into the morphology and phylogeny of Silurian placoderms, expanding the distribution of these ancient fish in South China and offering valuable information for the study of jaw evolution.
