MARK-KURIK ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE PSAMMOSTEIDS (HETEROSTRACI) After our joint paper ( 1965) has been published, new materials of psammosteids have been collected in the Baltic area, and a number of new restorations have been made, and some of the older ones modified. The purpose of the present paper is to give a concise account of the evolution and ontogenetic development of this interesting group of fossil Agnatha, together with some data on their morphology. This study is based solely on the material from the Main Devonian Field (Baltic states, Leningrad, Pskov and adjacent regions), which is the chief area of deve­ iopment of the psammosteids in the Soviet Union, as well as in the world in general. In the Givetian and Frasnian of the Main Devonian Field the psam­ mosteids are represented by seven genera, comprising numerous species. Their fossil remains consist as a rule of isolated plates and scales. Only in very few cases same of the plates have been preserved in natural tonnection. Most frequently the branchial plates are met with, so that many species have been founded only on these plates. Lateral and ridge scales are rather common. Dorsal and ventral plates are twice as ·rare as the branchials. Other plates: rostrals, pineals, orbitals, postorbitals, cor­ nuals and the anterior plates of the ventral carapace, have been discovered only in a few occasions. Although the material of many forms is rather insufficient, attempts have been made to make restorations of a number of psammosteids (Fig.

    Annales Societatis Geologorum Poloniae (2020), vol. 90: 75 – 93 doi: https://doi.org/10.14241/asgp.2020.04 A NEW MIDDLE DEVONIAN (GIVETIAN) PSAMMOSTEID (VERTEBRATA: HETEROSTRACI) FROM POLAND Marek DEC Institute of Palaeobiology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Twarda 51/55, 00-818 Warszawa, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] Dec, M., 2020. A new Middle Devonian (Givetian) psammosteid (Vertebrata: Heterostraci) from Poland. Annales Societatis Geologorum Poloniae, 90: 75 – 93. Abstract: A new genus and species of psammosteid heterostracan, Psarkosteus mediocris gen. et sp. nov., is de- scribed from the Middle Devonian (Givetian) of the Skały Formation, the Holy Cross Mountains, Poland. The dor- sal plate of Psarkosteus is constricted in its anterior part and the postorbital plate is long and narrow. Both features, along with the morphology and variety of tubercles, distinguish it from other representatives of the group. Most distinctive are big, teardrop-shaped tubercles, each with a flat or slightly concave surface and with its tip directed posteriorly, and a crenulated base, located along the branchial plates. The lateral line system in Psarkosteus is similar to that of Drepanaspis gemuendenensis and confirms earlier reconstructions. Key words: Pteraspidomorphi, Heterostraci, Psammosteidae, Middle Devonian, Holy Cross Mountains. Manuscript received 19 February, 2020 accepted 1 June 2020 INTRODUCTION The fossil record of the Heterostraci is poor in Poland, 2017; Glinskiy, 2018). The main problem is concerned although fossils are known from Upper Silurian, Lower with their relationships within the Pteraspidiformes. The and Middle Devonian deposits.

    GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF OHIO. VOL. I.—PART II. PALÆONTOLOGY. SECTION II. DESCRIPTIONS OF FOSSIL FISHES. BY J. S. NEWBERRY. Digital version copyrighted ©2012 by Don Chesnut. THE CLASSIFICATION AND GEOLOGICAL DISTRIBUTION OF OUR FOSSIL FISHES. So little is generally known in regard to American fossil fishes, that I have thought the notes which I now give upon some of them would be more interesting and intelligible if those into whose hands they will fall could have a more comprehensive view of this branch of palæontology than they afford. I shall therefore preface the descriptions which follow with a few words on the geological distribution of our Palæozoic fishes, and on the relations which they sustain to fossil forms found in other countries, and to living fishes. This seems the more necessary, as no summary of what is known of our fossil fishes has ever been given, and the literature of the subject is so scattered through scientific journals and the proceedings of learned societies, as to be practically inaccessible to most of those who will be readers of this report. I. THE ZOOLOGICAL RELATIONS OF OUR FOSSIL FISHES. To the common observer, the class of Fishes seems to be well defined and quite distin ct from all the other groups o f vertebrate animals; but the comparative anatomist finds in certain unusual and aberrant forms peculiarities of structure which link the Fishes to the Invertebrates below and Amphibians above, in such a way as to render it difficult, if not impossible, to draw the lines sharply between these great groups.

    ACTA PALAEONT OLOGICA POLONICA Vol. VII 1 9 6 2 N os. 1-2 L. BEVERLY TARLO THE CLASSIFICATION AND EVOLUTION OF THE HETEROSTRACI Abstract. - An outline classification is given of the Hetero straci, with diagnoses . of th e following orders and suborders: Astraspidiformes, Eriptychiiformes, Cya­ thaspidiformes (Cyathaspidida, Poraspidida, Ctenaspidida), Psammosteiformes (Tes­ seraspidida, Psarnmosteida) , Traquairaspidiformes, Pteraspidiformes (Pte ras pidida, Doryaspidida), Cardipeltiformes and Amphiaspidiformes (Amphiaspidida, Hiber­ naspidida, Eglonaspidida). It is show n that the various orders fall into four m ain evolutionary lineages ~ cyathaspid, psammosteid, pteraspid and amphiaspid, and these are traced from primitive te ssellated forms. A tentative phylogeny is pro­ posed and alternatives are discussed. INTRODUCTION Since 1858, when Huxley demonstrated that in the histological struc­ ture of their dermal bone Cephalaspis and Pteraspis were quite different from one another, it has been recognized that there were two distinct groups of ostracoderms for which Lankester (1868-70) proposed the names Osteostraci and Heterostraci respectively. Although these groups are generally considered to be related to on e another, Lankester belie­ ved that "the Heterostraci are at present associated with the Osteostraci because they are found in the same beds, because they have, like Cepha­ laspis, a large head shield, and because there is nothing else with which to associate them". In 1889, Cop e united these two groups in the Ostracodermi which, together with the modern cyclostomes, he placed in the Class Agnatha, and although this proposal was at first opposed by Traquair (1899) and Woodward (1891b), subsequent work has shown that it was correct as both the Osteostraci and the Heterostraci were agnathous.

This study demonstrates how isotopic data can be employed alongside other forms of evidence to inform on past at great time depths, making it especially relevant to the Palaeolithic where there is a wealth of material potentially available for study.

L’étude lithostratigraphique nous a permis de découper cette formation en trois membres : 1) un membre inférieur argilo-gréso-conglomératique (Grès de Serraf), mis en place dans un milieu fluvio-deltaïque documenté par la forme chenalisante des couches ; 2) un membre médian (Argiles de El Kseïb) à prédominance argileuse, à faciès conglomératique notamment dans le secteur d’El Kseib. Il atteste un milieu marin peu profond à influence glaciaire ; 3) un membre supérieur (Grès de El Ksar) formé d’une barre gréso-argileuse riche en Skolithos à la base et gréso-quartzitique au sommet.

Few visitors are aware of the important paleontological resources that occur in the park. During the summer of 2016, a comprehensive field inventory of paleontological resources within CHIC was conducted. The inventory process involved primary literature research, an extensive field survey of fossiliferous units, and inventories of collections and repositories. The field survey yielded eight new fossiliferous localities, and eight previously undocumented taxa within CHIC. This is the first discovery of fossils in the Deese Group and Sycamore Limestone within the recreation area. During the 2016 inventory, fossils were documented at all previously known localities within CHIC, except for those localities now submerged under the Lake of the Arbuckles. Collections were made of the representative fauna found within CHIC, and 73 fossil specimens were accessioned into museum collections.
