DescriptionWatercolour study of a skull from the fossil fish Megalichthys, by Joseph Dinkel, [1841-1843]. Probably found in the Coal Measures, Carluke, Scotland, from the collection of the Carluke Committee.

Notes: Drawing is captioned 'Committee Carluke' but it is unclear what this means, it may be connected to Dr Daniel Rankin from Carluke. The drawing has no identifying caption, the genus is suggested by Mahala Andrews.
