About to head off for 2 weeks in the northern Simpson Desert in search of Early-Middle Devonian fish fossils. Will be out of contact until the 1st week of August. We'll take what we can get, but my #1 goal is to find some pituriaspids.  

Well, less than 24 hours after tracking nothosaurs in the Triassic, I reeled in the biggest fish of the Silurian. paper= http://www.nature.com/srep/2014/140612/srep05242/full/srep05242.html summary= http://www.livescience.com/46271-biggest-devonian-predator.html Will add to the gallery once I gotten some sleep.
