	Devonian system - LoveToKnow Watches
		Here and there traces of fishes have been found, more especially in the Eifel, but seldom in such a state of preservation as to warrant their being assigned to any definite place in the zoological scale.
		Subsequently, however, E. Beyrich has described from Gerolstein in the Eifel an undoubted species of Pterichthys, which, as it cannot be certainly identified with any known form, he names P.
		In the lower members of the Old Red series Dipterus, and in the upper members Phaneropleuron, represented the dipnoid lung-fishes; and it is of extreme interest to note that a few of these curious forms still survive in the African Protopterus, the Australian Ceratodus and the South American Lepidosiren, - all freshwater fishes.

	Louis Agassiz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Before his first visit to England in 1834, the labours of Hugh Miller and other geologists brought to light the remarkable fishes of the Old Red Sandstone of the north-east of Scotland.
		The strange forms of the Pterichthys, the Coccosteus and other genera were then made known to geologists for the first time.
		In the early stages of his career in Neuchatel, Agassiz also made a name for himself as a man who could run a scientific department well.

	Robert Chambers, "Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation," Ch. 5, 1844
		Even throughout the sub-groups of the system itself, the species are changed; and these are phenomena observed throughout all the subsequent systems or geological eras; apparently arguing that, during the deposition of all the rocks, a gradual change of physical conditions was constantly going on.
		Some of the fossils of this system,—the cephalaspis, coccosteus, pterichthys, holoptychius—are, in form and structure, entirely different from any fishes now existing, only the sturgeon family having any trace of affinity to them in any respect.
		It appears that in the imperfect condition of the vertebral column, and the inferior situation of the mouth in the pterichthys, coccosteus, &c, there is an analogy to the form of the dorsal cord and position of the mouth in the embryo of perfect fishes.

	Hugh Miller (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Old Red Sandstone was thought to lack fossils, and there was much debate as to where they fit into the geological column as it was then known.
		Thus, when Miller began finsing beautifully preserved specimens of unusual armored fish -- such as the Pterichthys seen at the left -- the specimens attracted a great deal of attention, and established Miller's reputation in scientific circles.
		Miller began sending them to Louis Agassiz, who was the greatest expert on fossil fish at the time.

		Latterly he rose to the office of President of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.

		A bitter quarrel with John Anderson ensued when similar fossils from Dura Den were named Pamphractus andersoni.
