We provide high quality x-rays (most produced using equipment at The Academy of Natural Science in Philadelphia) of some of our records (mostly catfish from the western drainages of Texas). These x-rays are important since catfish identification is often dependent on osteological characters. We also provide x-rays of examples of all of Texas' Poeciliid species.

Whole Specimens and Jar Contents

We attempt to provide at least one photograph of a preserved specimen for every species known to occur in Texas, and are now systematically photographing all fish lots housed at the Texas Natural History Collection as well as some in other museums. These photographs typically contain all specimens in each lot, or in cases where a lot contains very many specimens, a representative sample illustrating the size range, specimen quality and sexes present. All jar labels and other contents associated with the lot are included in the photographs. To see a gallery view of our speimen specimen images go to our GBIF gallery.
