Squaloraia (lithograph)
Lithograph of the Squaloraia (Squaloraja), by George Scharf after Charles Weber. The front part of the fossil fish Squaloraja was found by Mary Anning at the end of December 1829. The original fossil was purchased by John Naish Sanders (c. 1777-1870) and donated to the Bristol Institution. It was there that it came to the attention of the physician Dr Henry Riley (1797-1847) who published the first scientific description of the new fish in the Geological Society's Proceedings in 1833.
