Henning is reviewing anaspid scales with Tiiu
Märss and Giles Miller. He gave a talk on
their findings at Jurmala. They have sorted
out scale types on the well-known articulated
specimens from Norway and can now relate
isolated remains to these and recognise new
taxa.

a bag of Scottish fossil fish (mostly
acanthodians) to prepare. Otherwise she is
working on her thesis. She writes:
Heard a few interesting talks in London
(NHM meeting), and now know, amongst other
things, a few molecular biol/genetics/systematics
etc buzz-words and that lungfish are more closely
related to us than coelacanths. Cyclostomata are a
real entity again; and oral/pharyngeal denticles
AREN'T the same as scales according to some - oh
well! back to the drawing board!
