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...

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...
