Silurian acanthodian scale. Possibly Nostolepis gracilis taxa. From Silurian, Pridoli, Lithuania (EU). Preparing for my Master's 2nd semester work presentation. Sadly I have found almost no acanthodian fossils (yet), so I could not go and take better pictures (with SEM).Hope to gather at least 20 scales before going there.

Fossils from Lithuania. Silurian period, Pridoli.
Still searching for acanthods in the samples for my Master's thesis.

I looked at some reasearch done on Pridoli sedimentary environment in Lithuania. In 2008 no evidence for reefs was found. In 2015 two big ones and one small was found. It is interesting how step by step new discoveries fill in the gaps of knowledge about paleoenvironments. I think I will have a blast doing my Master's literature research part!
