Tortonian fish otoliths from turbiditic deposits in Northern Italy: Taxonomic and stratigraphic significance
No full textFish otoliths from the fossiliferous turbiditic sand deposits outcropping at the Borelli and Moncucco localities (Piedmont, Northern Italy) are herein analyzed. The studied section is Tortonian in age and belongs to the lower portion of the Sant'Agata Fossili Formation. The study reveals the presence of at least 90 otolith-based taxa of which 78 are identified at the species level. Two of these are named and described as new species: "Gobiida" bicornuta and "Gobiida" brioche. In addition, 19 taxa, including both still living and extinct ones, are recorded for the first time in Tortonian deposits. Among them, the still living Nansenia aff. oblita, ?Sagamichthys schnakenbecki, and Chaunax pictus are found as fossils for the first time. The high diversity of this well-preserved otolith assemblage improves the systematic knowledge of the Tortonian gobiids and other neritic taxa, which show a close affinity with the present-day Mediterranean fauna. Moreover, the stratigraphic distribution of both neritic and mesopelagic taxa, that were previously considered to enter the Mediterranean Basin in younger stratigraphic intervals, can now be extended back to the Tortonia

Apogon undetermined
No full textApogon sp. Fig. 20D–E Remarks Several small otoliths (n = 33) from localities in Texas are here assigned to Apogon. These likely belong to juveniles, and their non-diagnostic morphology does not allow further assignment. Stratigraphic and geographic distribution Lutetian: “Stone City beds”, Texas. Bartonian: Cook Mountain Formation, Texas.Published as part of Lin, Chien-Hsiang & Nolf, Dirk, 2022, Middle and late Eocene fish otoliths from the eastern and southern USA, pp. 1-122 in European Journal of Taxonomy 814 on page 62, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2022.814.1745, http://zenodo.org/record/648435
Serranidae Swainson 1839
No full textSerranidae indet. Fig. 27E–F Remarks Serranid otoliths are uncommon in our samples and more specimens are required to provide more taxonomic precision. Stratigraphic and geographic distribution Lutetian: Dobys Bluff Tongue of Kosciusko Formation, Mississippi; Piney Point Formation, Virginia. Bartonian: “upper” Lisbon Formation, Alabama.Published as part of Lin, Chien-Hsiang & Nolf, Dirk, 2022, Middle and late Eocene fish otoliths from the eastern and southern USA, pp. 1-122 in European Journal of Taxonomy 814 on page 77, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2022.814.1745, http://zenodo.org/record/648435

Remarks Compared to other otoliths of Paraconger, otoliths of Paraconger solidus are the most compact and highest-shaped ones. The species seems to be restricted to the Piney Point Formation.

Carangidae Rafinesque 1815
No full textCarangidae indet. Fig. 22H–I Remarks Several otoliths (n = 22) are only assigned to the family level. They lack the diagnostic morphology for a more precise assignment.

Plotosus undetermined
No full textPlotosus sp. Fig. 13I–J Remarks Utricular otoliths are very rare in the collection.
