A new genus and species of remora, Oligoremora rhenana n. g. n. sp., is described in detail and compared with all other extant and fossil representatives of the family Echeneidae. It resembles in its meristic data the extant representatives of the genus Remora, but also shares several morphological details with the genus Echeneis. Taphonomical details of particular interest, such as pectinated lamellae...
Reconstruction of fossil teleost faunas can provide important information on palaeoenvironments, palaeogeography and evolution, and otoliths are particularly useful for that purpose. Here we present an otolith-based fish fauna from the middle Miocene of the Eastern Paratethys, i.e. the Karagaily section of the Mangyshlak Peninsula in Western Kazakhstan, and report on the accompanying nannoplankton,...
