A unique fossil assemblage from the Devonian of the Northwest Territories: A search for evolutionary missing links in the rise of fish
Principal Investigator: Miyashita, Tetsuto
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5549. Through this field project, the hope is to accomplish two 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; and 2) to establish a line of publi...

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...

New ischnacanthid acanthodians from the Lower Devonian of the Mackenzie Mountains, NT, Canada
Principal Investigator: Hermus, Chelsea
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: The main objective of the project is to collect fossils of two specific groups of early fishes (acanthodians and heterostracans) to supplement specimens already collected for research projects at the University of Alberta. The field party plans to journe...

Collection of Silurian fishes and trilobites and articulated remains of Devonian chondrichthyans and other fishes from the Mackenzie Mountains, N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Wilson, Mark V.H.
Licensed Year(s): 2013 1998 1996 1990
Summary: The objectives of the research are 1) to collect remains of Silurian and Devonian fishes, and 2) to collect remains of Silurian trilobites. Activities are limited to travel, residence at camp locations and collection of fossils. Helicopters will be used to access camp sites. We plan to land at Avalanche Lake on July 15, spending 6 days collecting fossils at Avalanche Lake, followed by one day of t...
