Bothriolepis (name meaning "Trench Scale") is a genus of small antiarch placoderm that originated during the Middle Devonian Era in what is now North America. A widespread, abundant and diverse armored fish that measured over a meter long, it was related to the far larger and far more ferocious Dunkleosteus.
In the Series 1 episode "Age of Fishes II: Armored Fish" a couple of Bothriolepis were brought to the park from Late Devonian Pennsylvania 360 million years ago. They reside in the Primeval Aquarium Enclosure.
