Hi Everyone, I was going through my old photos and I came across these.: A collection of fossil fishes in the American Museum of Natural History Hall of Vertebrate Origins. Normally when there one tends to gravitate towards the two enormous dinosaur halls, but this room is my favorite. Sorry, I don't have any IDs on any of these. Feel free to step in and ID them. Hope you enjoy.

Good evening to all participants! I offer for exchange 10 fragments of fish shells of the Devonian period. Everything in the photos is one lot. What is interesting to me: first of all, marine reptiles and dinosaurs, and also I am interested in the teeth of megalodon, Crinoids and ammonites. Surely I missed something - I ask you, do not hesitate to write to me in private messages - i will glad to talk. Best regards, Svetlana

Receiving this gorgeous but mysterious specimen is from Upper Pennsylvanian limestone dated around 290-300 million years ago from somewhere around Kansas City. Looks like a tooth to me and my best guess would be orodus? But I have little experience with Pennsylvanian shark teeth in general and especially from this area, also cannot find a comparison elsewhere online. Any help will be appreciated.

On Sunday I took a trip to the Natural History Museum in London. I queued up before it opened at 10am and even before then there was a long queue. I have not visited this museum since I was a child and spent an entire day there (10am to 4.30pm - a long time). I was surprised as it is a lot bigger than I remembered and there was so much to see. This place has the most wonderful things and is an incredible place to learn. The museum showcases a Baryonyx, Sophie the Stegosaurus (the world's most complete Stegosaurus) and more! The moving Trex and Deinonychus are also really realistic in the way t

Species and Speciation in the Fossil Record, Chapter: 11
oilshale posted a topic in Fossil Literature
Wiliam E. Bemis: "This paper briefly explores concepts of species of “fishes” in the fossil record . For an evolutionary biologist also interested in systematics, it is impossible to study any fossil species without careful study of and reference to extant species. Thus, this paper is informed by anatomical comparisons to extant fishes as well as their nomenclatural history, as exemplified by the Catalog of Fishes (Eschmeyer, 1998a, 2015), with the goal being synthesis of neontological and paleontological perspectives. The enormous literature on species concepts, speciation and systematic- 1 reply

I just got finished working on this PDF file. It's a PDF of "The Paleozoic Fishes of North America" by John Strong Newberry from 1889. It is in two parts; text and plates. There are some versions on the Internet but none are really in complete or presentable form. One "good" version is missing a lot of the picture plates because the compilers chose to export as one small page size and so picture plates are chopped in half or totally missing. Another web version is just raw scans of the pages with no color filtering meaning the pages are all dark orange and low contrast. My version co

a book review of: "The Lost World of Fossil Lake: Snapshots from Deep Time" by Lance Grande. University of Chicago Press. 2013. 425 pages. Suggested retail: $45 USD. If you drive through southwestern Wyoming near the town of Kemmerer during the summer, you encounter the heat and aridity of the high mountain desert environment that has characterized the region since the last ice age. In winter bitter winds contribute to sub-zero temperatures. Local conditions supported very different environments long before the ice ages but one in particular and not so distant in time has captu

First photo is a Priscacara, I had to give up a larger, two piece one to get this one in the trade. I found three small Phareodus which I traded for a bigger one I found, that may go 16 inches, I need to get a better picture of that one. The Diplomystus is the largest one I have ever found at this quarry, hopefully he'll be 16 inches when prepped. I had found a 13 inch one earlier in the week, and I hope I get him too. This one cost me a large mioplosus, but the trades are always fun. I got some other good fish in the trades too, but no pictures yet. Jim Old Dead Things
