Abstract

Ganoid and cosmoid scales, the two types of rhombic scales within the osteichthyans, can be traced back to a primitive scale similar to the scales ofLophosteus. The primitive rhombic scale did not have a peg-and-socket articulation, it is composed of lamellar bone superposed by many layers of spongy bone + dentine. That kind of superposition of layers of spongy bone + dentine (+ enamel) has been retained in the cosmoid scale; in contrast in the ganoid scale the growth of the dentine has become restricted to the lateral surface, the growth of ganoin to the outer surface and the growth of bone to the inner surface of the scale. The scales ofAndreolepis have a position between the primitive rhombic scale and the ganoid scale. — Scales from the Gedinnian (Lower Devonian) of New Sibirian Islands, USSR, are described asDialipina markae n. sp. The morphological features are very typical for the genus, but the histology is different from the type speciesD. salgueiroensis. Within the two Devonian palaeoniscoid generaDialipina andOrvikuina acellular bone with irregular non-vascular canals of Williamson has developed twice from cellular bone.

Zusammenfassung

Ganoid- und Cosmoidschuppe, die beiden rhombischen Schuppen-formen der Osteichthyes, sind auf eine gemeinsame ursprüngliche Form zurückfiihrbar, der die Schuppen vonLophosteus nahestehen. Die ursprüngliche, rhombische Schuppe besaß keine Dorn-Grube-Artikulation, sie war aufgebaut aus lamellärem Knochen und mehreren Lagen aus spon-giösem Knochen + Dentin darüber. In der Ganoidschuppe ist dieser mehrlagige Bau verschwunden, während er in der Cosmoidschuppe beibehalten wird.Andreolepis steht in der Entwicklungsrichtung auf die Ganoidschuppe hin. — Schuppen aus dem Gedinne, Unter-Devon, der Neusibirischen Inseln, USSR, werden aufgrund der morphologischen Merkmale der GattungDialipina alsD. markae n. sp. zugerechnet, obwohl der histologische Bau sich von dem der Typ-artD. salgueiroensis unterscheidet. Eine Parallelentwicklung von zellulärem zu azellulärem Knochen liegt in den beiden Palaeoniscoidea-GattungenDialipina undOrvikuina vor.
