The name Arthrodira means "jointed neck" These advanced preditory placoderms had a movable joint between the head(cephalic) and the thoracic(body) armor... The mouth is interesting because as the lower jaw moved down the head shield moved up, thus giving a wide gape. Like all placoderms, they lacked teeth, instead using the sharpened edges of a bony plate as a biting surface. 1, record 2, English, - arthrodira

The principle of movable shield support is well known : once the working place has been fixed within the bounds of a pillar the production face is pushed forward together with the installed support without any further expenditure of time and money for setting up a new one; the weight of the support and the rock pressure are used for shifting the support. 1, record 3, English, - movable%20shield%20support
