Synodus sp.

Fig. 14A

Remarks

This single otolith is very similar to the one reported by Nolf & Stringer (2003: pl. 3 fig. 1), but both lack sufficient diagnostic features and can only be assigned at the generic level.

Stratigraphic and geographic distribution

Bartonian: Moodys Branch Formation, Mississippi.
