FIRST KNOWN FEEDING TRACE OF THE EOCENE BOTTOM-DWELLING FISH NOTOGONEUS OSCULUS AND ITS PALEONTOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE.

First known feeding trace of the eocene bottom-dwelling fish Notogoneus osculus and its paleontological significance.

BACKGROUND: The Green River Formation (early Eocene, about 42-53 Ma) at and near Fossil Butte National Monument in Wyoming, USA, is world famous for its exquisitely preserved freshwater teleost fish in the former Fossil Lake.Nonetheless, trace fossils attributed to fish interacting with the lake bottom are apparently rare, and have not been associa

Induction with 60Co gamma rays of modification variability and mutation of China aster (Callistephus chinensis Nees

The effect of radiation on variability was investigated in plants of five varieties of China aster, grown from seeds pretreated with various doses of gamma rays (generation M1) and in the progeny of these plants (generation M2).Both in generation M1 and in M2 the frequency of occurrence of radiation induced changes varied.In the M1 generation, besi
