Material
Two otoliths from level 11.
Distribution
Aquitanian of SW France ( Steurbaut, 1984) and the MHB.
Remarks
These otoliths are elongate with a higher anterior than posterior part and a prominent anterodorsal high. The sulcus is divided into a large, oval ostium that almost reaches the anterior rim, and a smaller, also oval-shaped cauda that is situated slightly dorsally. The specimens examined here resemble very much those figured by Steurbaut (1984) from the Oligocene–lower Miocene of France and reassigned by Nolf (2013) to Batrachoididae .
