Synagrops japonicus (Döderlein, 1883) View in CoL
Figure 16h View Fig Remarks Otoliths of Synagrops japonicus (Döderlein, 1883) are very distinctive by having a protruding and oval ostium that forms the anterior part of the otolith, and a long and narrow cauda that flexes strongly towards the antero-ventral direction (Lin & Chang, 2012: pl. 94). In the case of our two fossil otoliths, the overall shape and surface are heavily abraded and not well-preserved. However, despite the poor condition, the peculiar ostium characteristic of S. japonicus otoliths is still visible.
