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 partial slab, with fragile detached pieces in 5 perspex boxes of fragments (one of which is marked 'Outer edge of Right Para-Nuchal Plate'), a 3x2 card tray (with note saying 'Left PVL (ventral)') and a 2x2 card tray of debris and bony elements. Also with this specimen is 132283, which seems to have dorsal elements that would match with a counterpart to the main slab (marked V7157b), although it was stored close to (rather than in) the main tray of V7157b. A further complication with this specimen is that labels for V7156 were also present with V7157 labels in this tray, making the provenance of the unnumbered boxes and trays in the main tray unclear. Also with these mixed labels were notes saying 'MDP Dorsal', '2 ALP', 'several thoracic elements (dorsal and ventral)', 'Most of head (dorsal)'. The 'Left PVL' element appears to fit on to a suitably shaped gap at the anterior of the jaw margin on the main slab, adding slight support to the theory that it is part of V7157 rather than V7156. | 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 |
