Cynoglossus sp.

Figure 6 AJ-AK

Material. 1 otolith, NMNHU-P PI 2724, Novyi Pliazh.

Discussion. A single otolith of 1.55 mm in length is characterised by a high, pentagonal otolith shape with a deep ventral rim and strong midventral angle, concave postventral section and expanded predorsal lobe. Its inner face is mildly convex and smooth with a poorly discernible sulcus that resembles the “hammer-shaped” outline typical for cynoglossid otoliths, although its termination is relatively rounded instead of shaped like a hammerhead.
