Description: | Tulloch, near Lanfine, [east of Kilmarnock], (Ayrshire), [Scotland] Lower Old Red Sandstone, [Lochkovian-Emsian], [Devonian (Lower)] Part (a) and counterpart (b previously given number of V2415). Also referred to as *Cephalaspis traquairi* Stensio. Beautiful cephalaspid, far superior to the plaster cast that we have from the RSM. It is unclear whether this is specimen 1191 or 1192 from the Lanfine Collection (section/drawer 63 of catalogue) - this seems to be referred to specimen V2417, but with no apparent grounds for this association. Whichever specimen the numbers 1191(part) and 1192 (counterpart) does not refer to is liable to not be a specimen from the Lanfine Collection, but a specimen collected from the LOCALITY of Lanfine. It also comes with an original label with the date 1870 on it - but if this is when it was collected, then it post-dates Thomas Brown by 17 years. Alternatively, this date may simply refer to an 1870 Monograph of the Palaeontographical Society on Fossil Fishes of the ORS of Britain - reference needs to be checked.
