Talk:Teleostei

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Teleosts are by far the largest group in Actinopterygii and have some unique adaptations that are of particular interest; therefore I was bold and made this redirect into an article. --Ginkgo100 ^{talk · contribs} 00:08, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First appeared in the Triassic, not Jurassic

The Marshall Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs & Prehistoric Animals lists two Triassic teleosts, Pholidophorus and Leptolepis, so I changed 'Jurassic' to 'Triassic'. Jerkov 20:13, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. Since you have a copy of the book, can you please add the reference? The template {{cite book}} will be helpful. --Ginkgo100 ^{talk · contribs} 20:40, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Teleost rule?

"On the basis of biomass as well as of species count, teleosts are the typical vertebrates, and all other vertebrates are exceptions to the teleost rule." What does this sentence mean anyway? Can someone clarify it and back it up with more evidence? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.16.64.11 (talk) 03:06, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
