A 12-inch long armored Bothriolepis glides along the bottom of a flooded plain 380 million years ago during the Late Devonian. Plant life includes the bases of giant Archaeopteris ferns, trunks of smaller Lycopods, and rope-like horsetails. Leaf-like filter feeders are also included, as well as ambiguous caterpillar-like plants, though it's not known if either were extant at this time
