Thecosmilia Trichitoma Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 What is the proper name for Priscacara/Cockerellites fish, Priscacara or Cockerellites?

DevonianDigger Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I believe that Cockerellites is the current standard. But I am more-or-less ignorant to the reasoning/backstory. Jay A.

Sagebrush Steve Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I just consulted my copy of Lance Grande's 2013 book, The Lost World of Fossil Lake. He says that Priscacara serrata is still correct, but that the species once known as Priscacara liops is now placed in the genus Cockerellites. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
