Champsodon Gunther 1867

Description

Champsodon sp.

(Figure 110)

Material: 1 specimen in total. Anda1 (1) RGM 962287.

Very small otolith (OL=1.10, OH= 0.71 mm) with a medial deepened oval sulcus. The otoliths have a similarity with otoliths of Champsodon snyderi Franz, 1910 (depicted in Rivaton & Bourret, 1999). As the largest lobe of the anterior ventral rim is broken, it is quite possible that the otolith had a small denticle as observed in C. snyderi and C. guentheri Regan, 1908.
