We present the first annotated and illustrated catalog of fossil fish type specimens that are housed in the División Paleontología Vertebrados of the Museo de La Plata, Argentina. The catalog comprises 31 type specimens (including 21 holotypes, five syntypes, two lectotypes, two paratypes, and one neotype), systematically arranged within a phylogenetic framework. For each taxon, we provide updated information on geographical and stratigraphical provenance, systematic placement, and type status. Relevant taxonomic or historical remarks are included where appropriate. This catalog serves as a critical resource for researchers by enhancing access to primary paleontological data and supporting future taxonomic, systematic, and biogeographical studies of fossil fishes. In addition to improving the visibility and usability of this historical collection, the catalog contributes to the preservation of essential type material in line with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) guidelines. It also underscores the relevance of institutional efforts in curating and digitizing fossil collections as a foundation for global collaboration and renewed investigations into the evolutionary history of Gondwanan ichthyofaunas.
