Description: | Dockra Pit, Barrmill, Beith, [Cunninghame, Strathclyde], [Scotland] [Limestone Coal Group], [Brigantian], [Carboniferous (Lower)] A member of the Gyracanthidae, currently placed tentatively within the Climatiiformes. Formerly referred to as *Gyracanthus youngii* Traquair. Shanks' notebook (no.11, p.33) entry states (fide WDIR): "A miner named Crawford brought a fin spine to me from Dockra Pit, Barrmill, Beith. He says it is all there and measures 17 to 18".". It is this specimen, and not V7965, that falls within this size range. | 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: | VERTPISCGNAACANT : GYRA : 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 |
