Stensiopelta pustulata – Devonian Fossil Vertebrate

• Species: Stensiopelta pustulata
• Type: Fossil early vertebrate
• Geological Age: Early Devonian – Lochkovian
• Member: Ustechko Member
• Formation: Old Red Formation
• Location: Podolia, Ukraine 
• Size: 16 cm long

Interesting specimen of Stensiopelta pustulata, an Early Devonian vertebrate from the classic fossil-bearing deposits of Podolia, Ukraine. 

The specimen dates to the Lochkovian, approximately 419–411 million years ago, an important interval in the early diversification of vertebrates. Fossils from this period provide valuable evidence for understanding the evolution of early fishes and the development of armored vertebrate groups during the Devonian.

This specimen originates from the Ustechko Member of the Old Red Formation in Podolia, a historically important region for the study of Silurian and Early Devonian vertebrate assemblages.

Its unusual taxonomic attribution and classic Eastern European provenance make it particularly interesting for specialized collections focused on early vertebrate evolution and Paleozoic life.

Uncommon Early Devonian fossil from an important paleontological locality, ideal for collectors of early vertebrates, Devonian fishes, Paleozoic fossils and evolutionary history.

A particularly interesting addition to specialized private collections, educational displays and natural history collections.

The specimen will be securely packed using professional protective materials to ensure safe worldwide shipping.
