Apogon sp.

Fig. 20D–E

Remarks

Several small otoliths (n = 33) from localities in Texas are here assigned to Apogon . These likely belong to juveniles, and their non-diagnostic morphology does not allow further assignment.

Stratigraphic and geographic distribution

Lutetian: “Stone City beds”, Texas. Bartonian: Cook Mountain Formation, Texas.
