I love how you properly drawn Dunkleosteus with shark-like tail. Based on 2017 reconstruction, it has been concluded that shark-like tail is much more efficient for active predatory lifestyle of Dunkleosteus than the traditional eel-like tail. The eel-like tail depiction was based on Coccosteus, a foot long relative of Dunkleosteus which was a freshwater fish and has preserved post cranial section.

The term 'amateur' just refers to them not getting paid, apposed to a 'professional' that does get paid. Even though their work could be better than a professional. For example I used to be a member of a model making group. A bloke their made an R2D2 replica which was far far better than the original (because he spent years on it, apposed to a few weeks for the actual one). He got into the local newspaper and he got called an Amateur model maker despite his work being of far better quality.

The city would move through the ocean. The attack was so cool and had nothing to actually do with the story, except to splice prehistory with another time.

It isn't strange at all, really. Dense armor plating is very energy inefficient, which is what matters most in marine life.
