Description

Clupeidae indet.

Fig. 13H

Remarks

Clupeid otoliths are rare in the collection in terms of their numeric abundance in the associations, but they were found across different regions and ages. The mentioned specimen is an example of such a small otolith, well recognizable as a clupeid, but it does not allow a more precise assignment.

Stratigraphic and geographic distribution

Lutetian: “Stone City beds”, Texas; Dobys Bluff Tongue of Kosciusko Formation, Mississippi. Bartonian: Landrum Member, Texas; Cook Mountain Formation, Mississippi; “upper” Lisbon Formation, Alabama.
