A full reconstruction:

One of the best! Not like the weird Cog Ltd hodgepodge.

That's a Groeny?! I thought it was a Bothriolepis or something.

They sold it as Groenlandaspis, but yeah, it looks like an antiarch. It has a lot in common with Bothriolepis but as far as I can tell it doesn't quite match any specific antiarch.
