Hello 
Could you  direct me to website(s) that have lots of prehistoric fish images ???
Sincerely, 
Dave Lowman

Hi gaspiglione-ga, 

Ok…it looks like the only way to do this is the brute force method. I
was hoping for some online directory that had one BIG chart with many
fish. (Boy, would that have saved time!) But no. Instead I found that
there are many sites, each with just one picture.

So here you go – a list of 2 dozen websites, each with a picture or
two. The good news is that some of the pictures are posters showing
more than one type of fish.

That should give you a good start.  Now what I’ll do here is give you
my search strategy which you can follow up on and do your own specific
searches.

First, I used Google Image Search:

://www.google.ca/imghp?q=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&meta=

For my search terms I started broadly then focused more finely as I
progressed:

“prehistoric fish”
“Palaeozoic fish”
“Devonian fish”
“Silurian fish”
“Placoderm”
“Ostracoderm”
“Xenacanthus”

I only selected the better-looking pictures for you. You may want to
repeat the searches and scan the images to see if anything else
appeals to you.  Also, if you have specific fish you are looking for,
use its name as your search term.

Thanks for sending me on such an interesting search. I saved one of
those fabulous dunkleosteus pictures to my desktop. The fish is great
.. plus what a fabulous name … dunkleosteus!  I’m certainly going to
have to try to use that in a sentence today!

-K~

Thank you for the additional  search tip!
