Description: | Blackpark, Edderton Burn, nr. Tain, [Highland[, [Scotland] Fish Bed, Middle Old Red Sandstone, [Eifelian,] [Devonian (Middle)] This is part of a drawer of Edderton Burn specimens exposed to acid-preparation (possibly without proper rinsing, judging by their fragility), some of which had lost numbers and had labels separated from them. Although multiple parts are indicated for some in the Main catalogue, it is unclear if these parts date from before the acid preparation, hence does not reflect the current number of parts for the individual specimens.
The specimen consists of a partially reinforced slab, with fragile detached pieces from the plasticine platform, 2 perspex boxes of fragments (one of which is marked 'Dorsal PDL inside of plate') and a film-tube of debris and bony elements. This is judged the specimen most likely to be part 'a' of V7161, because of the saw-cut surface. Although a label was found in the drawer indicating that an acanthodian had been taken for etching, no trace of this specimen could be found. If this specimen was traced, it could assist in determination of which specimen (132282-5) V7160a-f. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | VERTPISCGNAPLACO : PLACODIRA : FOSSIL : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
