Montrose County, Colorado. A 2005 excavation of “Walt’s Fish Quarry” in the Owl Rock Member of the Chinle Formation of San Juan County, Utah, yielded three new specimens of T. kalliokoskii, two of which have complete skulls and pectoral fins.The “Walt’s Fish Quarry” site is geographically close to the type locality of Tanaocrossus. Three more specimens from the lower part of the Bull Canyon Formation in Quay County, New Mexico are well-preserved and three-dimensional, unlike the flattened Utah specimens. The new material reveals Tanaocrossus to be a perleidiform based on the presence of an anterio-dorsally expanded preopercular, a vertical suspensorium, among other characters. Tanaocrossus has sometimes been placed within the Family Scanilepidae along with Scanilepis and Fukangichthys; however, the new specimens demonstrate that this cannot be the case, and the placement of the latter taxa is in question as well. Detailed study of the three-dimensional Bull Canyon specimens will allow for a clearer understanding of this hitherto enigmatic fish.

Email: [email protected] urn:lsid:zoobank.org:author:55EA63EE-63FD-49E6-A216-A6D2BEB91B82 Abstract. The family-group names of animals (superfamily, family, subfamily, supertribe, tribe and subtribe) are regulated by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Particularly, the family names are very important, because they are among the most widely used of all technical animal names. A uniform name and spelling are essential for the location of information. To facilitate this, a list of family- group names for fossil fishes has been compiled. I use the concept ‘Fishes’ in the usual sense, i.e., starting with the Agnatha up to the †Osteolepidiformes. All the family-group names proposed for fossil fishes found to date are listed, together with their author(s) and year of publication. The main goal of the list is to contribute to the usage of the correct family-group names for fossil fishes with a uniform spelling and to list the author(s) and date of those names. No valid family-group name description could be located for the following family-group names currently in usage: †Brindabellaspidae, †Diabolepididae, †Dorsetichthyidae, †Erichalcidae, †Holodipteridae, †Kentuckiidae, †Lepidaspididae, †Loganelliidae and †Pituriaspididae.

Three-dimensional Virtual Histology of Early Vertebrate Scales Revealed by Synchrotron X-ray Phase-contrast Microtomography. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 1213. 49 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-554-9128-4. Vertebrate hard tissues first appeared in the dermal skeletons of early jawless vertebrates (ostracoderms) and were further modified in the earliest jawed vertebrates. Fortunately, histological information is usually preserved in these early vertebrate fossils and has thus been studied for more than a century, done so by examining thin sections, which provide general information about the specific features of vertebrate hard tissues in their earliest forms. Recent progress in synchrotron X-ray microtomography technology has caused a revolution in imaging methods used to study the dermal skeletons of early vertebrates. Virtual thin sections obtained in this manner can be used to reconstruct the internal structures of dermal skeletons in three- dimensions (3D), such as vasculature, buried odontodes (tooth-like unites) and osteocytes.
