ICHTHYOLITH ISSUES TRANSLATION SERVICE

We are attempting to hold translations of classic paleoichthyological works (originally the idea of S. Mahala Andrews in 1978). Contact Dr Sue Turner at s.turner@mailbox.uq.oz.au for more information. As the language of science is acknowledged as English and as English-speaking peoples are generally pretty bad at other languages (!), the translations are mostly TO English from German, Russian or French. Other combinations (e.g. Lithuanian to French etc) will be gratefully received.
