A unique fossil assemblage from the Devonian of the Northwest Territories: The continued search for evolutionary missing links in the rise of fish
Principal Investigator: Miyashita, Tetsuto
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5973. Through this field project, there are two main goals: 1) to fill in a major gap in, and transform knowledge of early vertebrate evolution through the analysis of new fossils from the Anderson River locality, which represent a poorly known interval of the geological time. For goal (1), the existing collections from th...


Lower Devonian Fossil Fishes from the Anderson River, NWT
Principal Investigator: Cumbaa, Stephen L
Licensed Year(s): 2010 2008 1997 1995
Summary: This research will examine 400 million years old rock with the hope to find fossilized skeletons of long-extinct fishes, and sample them for study to learn more about the early history and evolution of fish. Using rock hammers and chisels, sections of rock will be split to discover fossilized bones of fish. Samples will be taken for study and further preparation in the laboratory at the Canadian...
