Description: | Tulloch, near Lanfine, [east of Kilmarnock], (Ayrshire), [Scotland] Lower Old Red Sandstone, [Lochkovian-Emsian], [Devonian (Lower)] Counterpart (a) formerly on display in 'Earth-Life' - 'Extinct!' case, from 1993-(?)1999. Part (b) is missing, apparently not returned from loan {to Dr. Errol I. White of the NHM (London) [Geo 1, 18/2/1963], and rest of material in loan believed to have been returned only after his death (worked at Reading University in the last years of his life) in 1985 - apparently part (b) did not come back with the rest}. Also referred to as *Cephalaspis lyelli* Agassiz. It is unclear whether this is specimen 1191 or 1192 from the Lanfine Collection (section/drawer 63 of catalogue) - it seems to be referred to this specimen rather than V2414, but with no apparent grounds for this preference. 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. The mould and cast made of this specimen refer to an 1870 Monograph of the Palaeontographical Society on Fossil Fishes of the ORS of Britain - reference needs to be checked. In the interim, NHM collection is being checked...(7/2/2008). | 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: | VERTPISCAGNOSTEO : 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 |
