Tomasz Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Thank you. Unfortunately, it is all purchased... In regard to paleozoic fishes there is only one area in Poland with paleozoic fishes fossils, mainly Upper Devonian placoderms. It is hardly accessible since the famous oldest middle devonian tetrapod tracks were found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamalama Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Beautiful specimens and thank you for sharing them with us! -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Jeffrey P Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 That's a great collection. Do you know the geologic ages of those specimens and where they come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomasz Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Yes, I do know the geological ages and the locations. The Pentlandia comes from Orkney, Eday Flagstone Formation which is Upper Givetian period (middle devonian). This Dipnoan species can be found only in this formation in the Orkney. The Bourbonella comes from Bourbon, L'Archambault, France. It is Stephanian- Autunian - early Permian. Birkenias are Silurian, Llandovery, Telychian, Kip Burn Formation. Come from Mulkirk, Ayrshire, Scotland. Rhadinichtys is from the classical Canadian location: Hillsborough Albert County, New Brunswick, It is Mississipian, Tournaisian, Albert Shale, Paleoniscus is from the old collection gathered in 50s. This is from Bauhaus, Richelsdorfer Gebirge, Germany. Zechstein 1 (Kupferschaefer). The last one is probably Dipterus from Achanarras quarry in Scotland, Upper Caithness Flagstone Group, Givetian.
