Description
Bothidae indet.
Fig. 23G–H
Remarks
Several otoliths (n = 13) are here assigned to the family Bothidae, but cannot be defined with more precision, due to their poor preservation. Ebersole et al. (2019: 204, fig. 70q–r) reported a somewhat similar looking bothid otolith from the “upper” Lisbon Formation of Alabama, but more and better specimens are required for good taxonomic work.
Stratigraphic and geographic distribution
Lutetian: Weches Formation, Texas; Dobys Bluff Tongue of Kosciusko Formation, Mississippi; Piney Point Formation, Virginia. Bartonian: “upper” Lisbon Formation, Alabama; Moodys Branch Formation, Mississippi and Alabama.
