Bathyclupea sp.

(Figures 108–109)

Material: 2 specimens in total. Anda1 (1) RGM 962269; Anda2 (1) RGM 962270 .

Two diamond-shaped otoliths (OL:OH= 0.51–0.53) with ostium and cauda of equal length display clearly the characteristics of Bathyclupea, despite considerable erosion. In addition to their characteristic outline and sulcus that spans from the anterior to the posterior rim, the cauda bends upward and opens towards the posterior rim. The inner surface is flat. The outer surface is flat; it is decorated with knobs and furrows either over the entire outer surface (one specimen) or only along both rims.
