Fish suggests continental connections between the Indochina and South China blocks in Middle Devonian time

Fish suggests continental connections between the Indochina and South China blocks in Middle Devonian time

A yunnanolepiform antiarch (placoderm fish) is recorded from the Givetian Dong Tho Formation of Quang Binh Province, central Vietnam. This and other fishes from the same locality occur in marginal marine, detrital facies, with plant remains and lingulid bra-chiopods that indicate a nearshore to del...
