2010 Pristigenys schiecki ; Schwarzhans, pl.

75, figs. 10–13.

Material. 15 otoliths: 5 specimens, NMNHU-P PI 2745 , Mlyntsi ; 4 specimens, NMNHU-P PI 2746 , Novyi Pliazh ; 4 specimens, NMNHU-P PI 2747 , Staryi Zavod ; 2 specimens, NMNHU-P PI 2748 , Skala .

Discussion. Pristigenys schiecki was so far only known from the Hemmoorian and Reinbeckian of the North Sea Basin, the stratigraphic equivalents of the Ottnangian to Badenian of the Paratethys (Schwarzhans, 2010). Its relative common appearance in the late Badenian of the Medobory backreef environment indicates that the species was more widely distributed than previously perceived. It is not known from the time equivalent strata of the Mediterranean or the NE Atlantic. The cause for the apparent patchy distribution pattern of the species is currently elusive.
