2020a Gobius supraspectabilis ; Schwarzhans et al., pl. 4, figs. 10–13.

Material. 4 otoliths, NMNHU-P PI 2631, Staryi Zavod.

Discussion. Gobius supraspectabilis is easily recognised by its comparatively small sulcus and subcaudal iugum and the intensely and irregularly crenulated dorsal rim. The small sulcus resembles otoliths of the extant of Zosterisessor ophiocepalus (Pallas, 1814) (see Schwarzhans et al., 2020a for figures of otoliths), a genus that is commonly synonymised with Gobius (see Fricke et al., 2024 for more details). It is therefore possible that G. supraspectabilis represents the lineage of Zosterisessor or an extinct clade.
