Actinopterygii: Fossil Record This fossil, Diplomystus from the Eocene of Wyoming, is a relative latecomer in the fossil history of ray-finned fish. The oldest ray-finned fish appeared in the Devonian; by the late Paleozoic the actinopterygians were by far the dominant aquatic vertebrates. From the Carboniferous to the Triassic, the dominant ray-finned fishes belonged to a loose grouping known as the palaeoniscoids. Generally small fishes, palaeoniscoids bore scales covered by a shin ...

One just looked weird, but the other was truly weird; several anatomical features suggest it could have shocked you with an electrical field! I'll let Darren explain (with a few additions of mine in brackets): I've just come from a wonderful lecture on fossil sharks and the lecturer, a British paleontologist, Dr. Chris Duffin, told us all about two incredibly biza ...

Cretaceous Fish Fossils of Kansas There's only one place to get a 3-D cast of the Cretaceous fish Xiphactinus. Triebold Paleontology digs the fish bones from the Niobrara Chalk of Kansas and prepares them into some of the worlds most impressive fish fossils. The bones are first removed from the ground in plaster jackets. In the lab, the bones are removed from matrix one by one. It involves very meticulous work like a giant puzzle. The individual bones are cleaned ...
