Summary:

This volume is about fishes as palaeobiogeographic indicators in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. It begins with studies of Triassic chondrichthyans and lungfishes, with reflections on Triassic palaeogeography. Phylogeny and distribution of Late Jurassic neoselachians & basal teleosts are broached, and are followed by papers about the Cretaceous, dealing with SE Asian sharks, South American ray-finned fishes and coelacanths, European characiforms, and global fish palaeogeography. The remaining papers cover Tertiary subjects, such as bony tongues, eels, cypriniforms and coelacanths.
