Acanthostega ( Model )
Age:
Upper Devonian
Location:
East Greenland
Size:
16 1/2" x 5" x 3 1/2" (high )
Cost:
$ 205
Item #
mlike/acantho-205bsr/rg

Note:
Acanthostega (meaning Spiny Roof) is an extinct labyrinthodont genus, among the first vertebrate animals to have recognizable limbs. It appeared in the Upper Devonian about 365 million years ago, and was anatomically intermediate between lobe-finned fishes and the first tetrapods fully capable of coming onto land.

It had eight digits on each hand (the number of digits on the feet is unclear) linked by webbing. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted to come onto land. Acanthostega also had a remarkably fish-like shoulder and forelimb.

It had lungs, but its ribs were too short to give support to its chest cavity out of water, and it also had gills which were internal and covered like those of fish, not external and naked like those of some modern amphibians which are almost wholly aquatic.

The fossilized remains are generally well preserved, with the famous fossil by which the significance of this species was discovered being found by Jennifer A. Clack in East Greenland in 1987, though fragments of the skull had been discovered in 1933 by Gunnar Säve-Söderbergh and Erik Jarvik/

The Jesse Earl Hyde Collection
This website contains images and descriptions of over one thousand glass lantern slides used by Prof. Jesse Earl Hyde, a professor who taught geology at Western Reserve University (now part of Case Western Reserve University) from 1915 until his death in 1936. The collection itself contains more than 2000 slides and hundreds of photographs made roughly from 1890 to the mid 1930's. These slides span a massive range of topics such the evolution of man, glaciers, Ohio geology, and the history of science just to name a few. 
  Prof. Hyde also carefully wrote comments and descriptions on many of them, making the collection a fascinating window into both geological science of the early 20th century and Prof. Hyde himself. All of these comments were also recorded in a catalogue using a unique combination of numbers and letters, such as 1008.Cd.1, to sort and identify each slide easily.

History of this Plaque

This Walkway plate is one of the best if not the Best ever offered to the fossil collector that shows a distinct walkway of footprints left by a Labyrinthodont type animal ( Very large Amphibian ) some 225 million years ago in Germany..

The original or real fossil plate was discovered in Germany some 200 years ago and most likely is housed in a museum in that country.

In the Henry A. Ward catalog of fossil replicas of 1866 a ( partial illustration as seen to the left ) of this plate was offered for sale to museums and other scientists of those times. It is quite interesting to see the names given to the tracks in his catalog. Details of this plate from the catalog of 1866 can be seen again to the left under the illustration.
The original replica was stored at the University of Rochester New York until the early 1900's when it  was sold along with the majority of other fossil replicas from his catalog to the Field Museum of Chicago Illinois and was stored there for at least 100 years!

In 2002 we acquired this replica and now after 135 years in storage
this FANTASTIC WALKWAY FOOTPRINT PLATE is now available again to fossil collectors, museums and schools etc. Each wall plaque is individually made to order and is made of polyeurathane resin and the weight is far less then the original replica.


 *** HENRY WARD - was the founder of Ward's Scientific Co. of Rochester, NY. that is still in business today selling mineral and fossil kits among other scientific equipment to many schools within the USA.

Made out of Resin/Fiberglass
