Material 8 specimens Gelasian, Bastimentos FM , Ground Creek Unit , Atlantic Panama, PPP 3202 (figured specimens NMB P15812-13 View Materials ) .

Discussion Tese rather eroded specimens are characterized by a relatively high-bodied otolith shape (OL:OH=1.05), a relatively flat inner face and strongly convex outer face and a broadly rounded predorsal angle. Tey resemble otoliths of C. eidolon ( Fig. 39i View Fig ) but could also represent a species of which otoliths are not yet known.
