ICHTHYOLITH ISSUES
Newsletter for
International Working Group on Fishes especially
Vertebrate microremains
ISSN 1032-1314 [registered serial of the National
Library of Australia]
This serial began in 1987 on the
hillsides of Yunnan Province in southwestern China
during the Early/Lower Vertebrates Symposium field
trip when a group of Palaeozoic fish
palaeontologists decided that we needed to keep in
touch and swop news and information. From a small
International Palaeontological Association grant,
Dr Sue Turner started the first issue in 1988 and
continued to 2001. The name reflects the content on
small fish fossil remains: ‘ichthyolith’ or stone
fish being an old term for teeth, scales, bones
etc. The issues were not intended to obtain
taxonomic descriptions but some articles are cited
as scientific publications.
Special publications began in 1993 for
the Walter Gross Symposium abstracts at
Göttingen University and have been used
for conference abstracts ever since.
A new issue is in preparation on the
history of fossil fish workers
(contact the editor for details).
Back issues can be purchased from me so
have a look at the next page for details of the
various issues, specials and how to pay.
