Fossil Fishes (Arthrodira and Acanthodida) from the Upper Devonian Chadakoin Formation of Erie County, Pennsylvania
Several fossil fish were discovered in 1994 in the Upper Devonian Chadakoin Formation, near Howard Falls, just outside of Edinboro, Erie County, Pennsylvania. These fossils are fragmentary in nature and have been described based on their morphology. They are identified as the median dorsal plate of the large arthrodire Dunkleosteus terrelli Newberry, 1873, and the spines of probable acanthodian...
متن کاملAn exceptionally preserved Late Devonian actinopterygian provides a new model for primitive cranial anatomy in ray-finned fishes
Actinopterygians (ray-finned fishes) are the most diverse living osteichthyan (bony vertebrate) group, with a rich fossil record. However, details of their earliest history during the middle Palaeozoic (Devonian) 'Age of Fishes' remains sketchy. This stems from an uneven understanding of anatomy in early actinopterygians, with a few well-known species dominating perceptions of primitive conditi...
متن کاملGlyptolepis from the Middle Devonian of Scotland
The Rhipidistia (Osteichthyes, Crossopterygii) comprise three superfamilies of Paleozoic fossil fishes, the Holoptychoidea, Osteolepoidea and Rhizodontoidea. Of these the members of the Holoptychoidea (families Holoptychidae and Porolepidae) are by far the least well known, and consequently there exists a considerable gap in our knowledge of the evolution of the Rhipidistia as a whole. The aim ...
متن کاملMicroanatomy of Early Devonian book lungs.
The book lungs of an exceptionally preserved fossil arachnid (Trigonotarbida) from the Early Devonian (approx. 410 Myr ago) Rhynie cherts of Scotland were studied using a non-destructive imaging technique. Our three-dimensional modelling of fine structures, based on assembling successive images made at different focal planes through the translucent chert matrix, revealed for the first time foss...
متن کاملDivision Rhyniophyta - Upper Silurian to Middle Devonian
Among the oldest convincing fossils of early vascular land plants are those of the Division Rhyniophyta. The members of this division consist of: (1) simple axes with cuticle, stomates, epidermis, cortex and a terete (circular) centrarch xylem (xylem development occurs from the center of the stem to the periphery), without well-developed appendages or roots; (2) simple, isotomous branching syst...
