Discussion Otoliths of Boops boops are recognized by the highly characteristic dorsal rim with the sharply bordered, flat, box-shaped postdorsal expansion (see Nolf et al., 2009 for extant otoliths). Today, the species occurs in the Mediterranean and the East Atlantic from Norway to Angola. It has also been recorded as fossil from the Piacenzian of Portugal ( Nolf & Marques da Silva, 1997).
