Since the inception of the British Museum (Natural History) in 1881 (now the Natural History Museum, London), the collection, development and mounting of fossils for scientific study and public exhibition have been undertaken by fossil preparators. Originally known as masons, because of their rock-working skills, their roles expanded in the late ni...

Characterizing geological heritage sites (geosites) available in Russia remains an urgent task. The present study focuses on two geosites from the vicinity of Kazan—a large city on the Volga River. They are attributed to the standardized geoheritage types and scored by means of several criteria. It is found out that the Pechischi geosite represents...

The aim of the present contribution is to review the fossil record of chimaeroids in Argentina. We review previous records from Argentina, including the presence of Cretaceous chimaeroids reported by Ameghino in the 19th century from the Cretaceous of Santa Cruz province. We re-analyse the species Callorhynchus crassus described from the Miocene of Patagonia by Smith Woodward and Withe in the early 20th century. It is here considered as a valid taxon within the genus Ischyodus as I. crassus nov. comb. Ichyodus dolloi is reported for the first time for the Palaeocene of Patagonia, Argentina. We report for the first time in Argentina fossils belonging to Callorhinchus from Holocene deposits in Buenos Aires province. The long temporal range of Holocephali in Argentina (from Late Cretaceous to Holocene) contrasts with the paucity of their fossil record. This indicates that the history of the clade in southern South America is far from well known.
