Collection method comments: In the summer of 1929 an expedition from the Museum of Paleontology of the University of Michigan collected the remains of many small fish from the Wichita formation near Dundee, Texas. The fragments proved so interesting that Mr. W. H. Buettner, the discoverer of the fossils, was especially charged to search for more material on a second expedition in 1933. He was successful, and from the combined collections it has been possible to complete a reconstruction.
