Dr Robert ILYES, [DOES ANYBODY HAVE AN ADDRESS FOR ROBERT???]Norway

Some time ago he sent this message:

I am now working as a science teacher at a school just outside Oslo. I do not have my own email address yet because the school cannot afford to have separate addresses for all the teachers. I'm still doing some research on early vertebrates, and Natascha Heintz and I am in the progress of finishing up a paper on the Gigantaspids from Spitsbergen.
Natascha is retired now. The universities in Norway no longer find Palaeozoic vertebrates very interesting, and it does not seem like they will hire any fish people at all. Hopefully Ican keep in touch with you guys on the 406 project as good as I can. I'm sorry that it goes down the drain with early vertebrates in Norway, and other places too [e.g. the NR in Stockholm where Ulf Borgen lost his position in May - ed.]. Please send my best to everybody!!!!

NB Natascha did visit Australia in September 1998.

I'm an atomic physicist working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Paleontology is my hobby. One of my projects is a website consisting of photographs and descriptions of fossils found by me or by other members of my family. The home page of the fossil section is

http://www.itano.net/fossils.htm

My interest in Paleozoic fishes really began with finding a largely complete Ctenacanthus finspine. To see a picture and description, follow the links from my main fossil page to the Minturn Formation page and then the Ctenacanthuspage. John Maisey has it now, but he sent me a cast. Last summer, I took on the project of finishing up a publication on Pennsylvanian sharks from the Minturn Formation of Colorado. Hence, I'm trying to collect any and all references that could be of use in this. I have easy access to the University of Colorado library, but it lacks quite a few things that look interesting, including Ichthyolith Issues.
The publication started out in about 1984, when Martin Lockley (Univ. of Colorado at Denver) found a large number of shark teeth at a locality in the Minturn Formation in Colorado. Practically nothing has been written on the subject. There were several teeth that had never been reported from Colorado, and one, Lagarodus, that was practically unknown in North America. There were also several finspine taxa represented. After I finish this project I might try to do some work on the microvertebrates from the same locality.

Publication in progress:
"Shark remains from the Pennsylvanian Minturn Formation, Eagle County, Colorado," (tentative title), with Martin Lockley, Karen Houck, Michael Hansen, Barbara Stahl
