Early Turonian Acanthomorphs from Lac Des Bois, Northwest Territories, Canada
Recent collecting in fossiliferous deposits at Lac des Bois, Northwest Territories, Canada, has produced the first record of acanthomorph fishes from the locality. Two specimens of acanthomorph, each representing a different taxon, were among the fishes collected. One of these is complete and well p...
