An annotated bibliography of the Soviet palaeoichthyologist Leonid Glickman (1929–2000)

Abstract

The paper presents a short biography and an annotated bibliography of the well-known Soviet palaeoichthyologist and evolutionary morphologist Leonid S. Glickman (1929–2000). His bibliography consists of 46 titles, including 2 monographs, 3 book chapters, 33 research papers, 4 popular papers, and 4 unpublished research reports and dissertations, devoted mainly to Cretaceous and Cenozoic elasmobranchs (principally Lamniformes). The publications cover a period of time between the years 1952 and 1998.

The extinct shark, Ptychodus (Elasmobranchii, Ptychodontidae) in the Upper Cretaceous of central-western Russia—The road to easternmost peri-Tethyan seas

“…Late Cretaceous, probably using this epicontinental seaway to migrate along the peripheral areas of the Neo-Tethys Ocean (e.g., Asian peri-Tethys) and to access the northwestern margin of the paleo-Pacific Ocean. Ptychodus was reported from the Turonian-Santonian of western Kazakhstan by Glickman et al (1970) and Zhelezko and Glikman (1971; see also Popov, 2016), and the Cenomanian-Turonian to ?Campanian of Japan by Goto et al (1996). In the Santonian, the Anglo-Paris basin, the Adria platform, and the southern Central Polish basin certainly were part of the epicontinental areas inhabited by Ptychodus (see Fig.…”

“…Based on ammonites, the layer is dated as early-middle Cenomanian (Nikitin, 1888;Olferev and Alekseev, 2005). Ptychodus teeth are rare in all the above-mentioned fossil sites and coexist with much more abundant assemblages of teeth belonging to various other elasmobranch groups (compare Glickman, 1953;Olferev and Alekseev, 2005;Starodubtseva et al, 2008;Popov, 2016).…”

Marine Fishes (Chondrichthyes, Holocephali, Actinopterygii) From the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) Rybushka Formation Near Beloe Ozero, Saratov Oblast, Russia

“…Although vomerine tooth plates are part of our chimaeroid sample, only palatine and mandibular plates could be confidently identified generically. Ischyodus palatine plates are easily distinguished from those of Edaphodon, which has been reported from the Saratov Region (Averianov & Glickman 1994;Popov 2016), by having four tritors instead of three, with the fourth tritor being expressed as numerous circular pads or an elongated structure along the labial margin of the plate (Case 1978a;Cicimurri & Ebersole 2014). Ischyodus mandibular plates are labiolingually thinner and the anterior beak is generally shorter compared to Edaphodon mandibulars.…”

“…Fossils of the bony fish Pycnodus sp. were reported by several authors from deposits of the same age in the Volga region (Glickman 1953;Nesov & Averianov 1996;Popov 2016). Glickman (1953), Nesov & Averianov (1996), and Popov (2016) reported approximately 400 Ischyodus and Edaphodon (Callorhinchidae) tooth plates from the Saratov Oblast, and Averianov & Glickman (1994) subsequently described several chimaeroid taxa from Turonian to Santonian deposits near Saratov city.…”

Averianov & Popov (1995) later named a new species of chimaeroid, Amylodon karamysh, from Campanian deposits at the Shirokyi Karamysh locality, and they listed six elasmobranch taxa from the site.…”
