[History Hounds] Fishing with Hammer and Chisel: Armor-Plated Fish of Michigan’s Devonian Period with Joseph J. Kchodl, Paleontologist & Author

During the Devonian Period—or the Age of Fish—Michigan was at the bottom of an ancient saltwater tropical sea. Millions of years of sediment covered much of the state until glaciers exposed the bedrock beneath. Join PaleoJoe as he goes fishing for those ancient fish—not with a fishing pole and worms, but with a hammer and chisel.
