I am looking for figured and/or drawn specimens of Aetheolepis and Heterostrophus (both are dapediids). Any recommendations are welcome!
Additional: if anyone has this paper (version with plates), I'd highly appreciate a pdf. copy of it!
Where can I find Woodward, A. S. (1929). The Upper Jurassic ganoid fish Heterostrophus. Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, 561–566.
Sincerely;
Márton
Dear Márton
Lynne Bean, who is in Researchgate as well, is working on Aetheolepis.
Of the Woodward 1929 paper, I only have a paper copy. Apart from the holotype in München BSPG AS-VI-504 there are good specimens in folloing collections: Jura-Museum Eichstätt JME-SOS-3576; Teylers Museum Haarlem TM 13310, TM 10327 (both labelled as Pycnodus sp.). The best specimen (acid prepared) is in Edinburg RSM 1905.62.2.
You are welcome, if you need photographs of specimens.
All the best,
Martin
Dear Mr. Martin Ebert!
I do not know what to say, Your answer is far more than I expected.! Thank You very much for all details you gave.
To be short, I am working on a possible dapediiform remain, and because of its poor general condition, I'd like to compare its body shape to that of other dapediiforms. This is why I am looking for figured (or re-drawn) Aetheolepis and Heterostrophus specimens. Heterostrophus is not so problematical (I finally found a paper, with a figure of a relatively well preserved specimen in it), but Aertheolepis is still a mystery for me.
If You have any available photographs on Aetheolepis specimens, which I can compare to my specimen, I'd highly appreciate them.
To be honest, I also have a copy of the Woodward 1929 paper, but the tables of it - on Heterostrophus - are missing in that copy, it includes the text only. As far as I saw, that is the only available version on the web. So if You could make a simple photo on those pages with the plates, on I could see if those remains of Heterostrophus have the same general body morphology as the one figured by Lambers 1999, I'd also highly appreciate it.
My currently used e-mail is [email protected].
Thank You very much;
Yours Sincerely;
Márton
Thank You very much :) The first one would be useful for me :)
Have a nice day!
