Three spined stickleback gasterosteus aculeatus


Asterosteus is genus of rhenanid placoderm from the Eifelian. The type species, A. stenocephalus, is known from an incomplete skull from Middle Devonian strata of Ohio. What may be a second species ("Asterosteus sp ") is described from fragments decorated with star-shaped tubercules from the Eifelian-aged Gebze beds of Turkey.
