Discussion Tis is a rather characteristic species with a highly elevated postdorsal region and a strongly depressed predorsal angle and with a steeply inclined predorsal rim (25–33°). Anterior and posterior rims are nearly vertical and the postdorsal projection is very week. OL:OH = 1.05–1.15; OL:SuL = 1.7–1.8; sulcus inclination angle = 13°. Tese otoliths may represent an undescribed species but because of their low stratigraphic age and the lack of knowledge of West Atlantic Chriolepis , Pinnichthys and Psilotris species we have refrained from a formal action.
