Yinostius is an extinct genus of heterosteid placoderm known from remains discovered in China.

Description

This genus is known from Emsian-aged specimens from the Wuding region of Yunnan, China.[1] In overall anatomy, it is extremely similar to the European genera, though it differs from them in its slightly smaller size, the shape of its nuchal plate, and in various body proportions.

gollark: Most of them have tons of managed services plus quick to deploy VMs.

gollark: Depending on how you define cloud, I guess.

gollark: It isn't that big. You can just rent colocation and buy a few servers.

gollark: There are less popular providers which are *also* pretty costly though.

gollark: Hmm. Weird. I guess it would fit with the general thing of cloud costing a lot more than it "should".
