Abstract
ABSTRACT The use of Paleozoic ichthyoliths in geology has been extremely limited due, in part, to the taxonomic problems involved in their identification and the lack of adequate documentation affording comparisons of elements from various studies. Part I of a catalog of 156 Late Pennsylvanian ichthyoliths consists of diagnoses and illustrations mainly of scales and mucous membrane denticles derived from palaeoniscoid, acanthodian and chondrichthyan fishes. Each ichthyolith has been identified by a coded, utilitarian classification system. The advantage of such a system is that ichthyoliths can be more easily used to solve stratigraphic and paleoecologic problems.
