A platysomid occurrence from the Tournaisian of Nova Scotia

Conrad D. Wilson et al.

Summary: A recent discovery of a platysomid occurrence in the Tournaisian of Nova Scotia, Canada represents the earliest known deep-bodied actinopterygian fish, indicating postcranial differentiation of actinopterygians already in the earliest Carboniferous aftermath of the Hangenberg extinction. Furthermore, this specimen suggests that early Carboniferous actinopterygians may have used multiple locomotory modes, with later Carboniferous data showing a proliferation of locomotory modes throughout the Carboniferous era. These findings suggest that early Carboniferous actinopterygians were morphologically, ecologically, and functionally diverse.

The oldest Devonian circumpolar ray-finned fish?

Rodrigo Tinoco Figueroa et al.

Summary: This study reports a new actinopterygian fossil, expanding the geographical distribution of Devonian ray-fins and suggesting that gaps in their fossil record might be filled by exploring poorly sampled high-latitude localities within the Malvinokaffric Realm.
