Figure 42q–t View Fig

Material 38 specimens Zanclean: 34 specimens Springvale FM , Trinidad, KR-1216 (figured specimens NMB P15824-27 View Materials ) ; 4 specimens Cayo Agua FM , Atlantic Panama, PPP 1276 .

Discussion Tese are otoliths characterized by a high-bodied shape (OL:OH = 0.83–0.9) and the straight, slightly inclined posterior rim, and a distinct ventral furrow curving around the cauda to near the narrow dorsal depression. Tese otoliths resemble the extant C. stigmaticus ( Fig. 42p View Fig ) except for the development of the ventral furrow. We have refrained from a species description because of the relatively small size of the otoliths, the presence of only a few well-preserved specimens in the otherwise large assemblage, and the limited knowledge of otoliths of extant Ctenogobius species.
