Ee. Spamer et E. Daeschler, PREVIOUSLY UNFIGURED TYPE SPECIMENS OF FOSSIL FISH, REPTILES, AND MAMMALS IN THE ACADEMY OF NATURAL-SCIENCES OF PHILADELPHIA, Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, 146, 1995, pp. 429-458
The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia holds the type specime
ns of 400 species-level taxa of fossil vertebrates. Among them are 56
taxa whose types have never been figured, or have been incompletely fi
gured. There are also plaster casts of two species, the original types
of which (not owned by the Academy) were never figured and have been
lost. This paper provides photographic illustrations of the unfigured
types and a few previously figured ones for which there are new data t
o convey to the scientific community.
