Material 1 specimen, SMF PO 101.248 , Dar bel Hamri, Zanclean .

Discussion A single, relatively large otolith of 5.35 mm in length that is well preserved except for some slightly damaged section of the posterior rim. Te otolith is characterized by the dorsal rim rising towards a pronounced postdorsal angle and the sulcus fading anteriorly with a small ostial colliculum positioned very far from the anterior rim of the otolith. Te position of the ostial colliculum is considered typical for otoliths of the genus Owstonia .
