type catalogue, Fossil fish, updateAbstract
This list updates the fossil fish types deposited in the collections of the University of Alberta Laboratory for Vertebrate Palaeontology (UALVP). This collection contains 111 fish holotypes, 1073 fish paratypes, 62 casts of fish holotypes from other museums, and 31 casts of fish paratypes from other museums. The catalogue number, the latest classification, a short description of the material, the collector(s) of the holotype (if known), the type locality, the full citation including the pages on which it was described, tables, and listings of any figures are provided for each type specimen. As in Bruner's (2019) list, this includes unpublished “types” languishing in Ph.D. and M.Sc. theses, as these specimens are labeled in the collections as “types” on the museum labels and in the computer catalogue. Also, this type catalogue lists specimens incorrectly cited as holotypes and paratypes in the scientific literature, mistakes made in Bruner's (2019) listing, and type specimens on long term loan to the UALVP (Paleontology Collections (PAL) of the Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB)).
