A New Upper Old Red Sandstone Fish Locality in Scotland

Abstract

WITH the exception of sporadic scales and plates, finds of fish remains in the Upper Old Red Sandstone of Scotland, south of the Grampians, have been limited to the abundant excavation material from Dura Den, Fife, and the more restricted productions of Bracken Bay, Clashbennie, Earlston, Jedburgh, Chirnside, etc. The discovery of two rich fish beds in the Upper Old Red Sandstone in the grounds of Duns Castle, Berwickshire, is therefore a welcome event.
