Carcharhinidae View in CoL indet.

(Figs 90, 91)

Referred material – 1 vertebra ( V.63.478).

Description – A single centrum, showing diagnostic features of those of Carcharhinidae ( KOZUCH & FITZGERALD 1989) is discussed here. Some portions around the edges are missing, the overall surface seems to be a bit eroded, and therefore no pores are visible on the sides. Th e concave articular surface shows circular annuli (Fig. 90). The dorsal foramina are oval, they do not extend the rims of the centrum (Fig. 91).

Remarks – Similar carcharhinid centra have been reported by PURDY et al. (2001, fig. 52e, f), BOR et al. (2012, pl. 57, figs 1, 2, 6), SZABÓ et al. (2017, fig. 8k- n) and SZABÓ & KOCSIS (2020, pl. 10, figs 1–12). Due to the lack of characters, it is undefinable, whether this centrum belongs to G. aduncus or C. priscus , and it is identified here only as Carcharhinidae indet.
