Discussion Tese are relatively distinctive otoliths characterized by a nearly quadrate shape (OL:OH = 1.0–1.05), and only slightly inclined oval sulcus (7–10°) and the dorsal depression and ventral furrow joint to a nearly circular furrow surrounding the sulcus. Te area between the circular furrow and the sulcus is bulged. Elacatinus sp. 4 is very similar to the extant E. oceanops ( Fig. 37f View Fig ) and could possibly represent the same or a closely related species.
