Gobiidae indeterminate

(Figure 90)

Material: 1 specimen in total. Anda4 (1) RGM 962294.

A small Gobiid otolith differs from the previous ones by its rectangular to trapezoid shape (OL:OH=0.92) with no point-like protrusion in one of its corners. The specimen has a large dorsal depression and little concave area in the dorsal part of the otolith. The ostial part of the sulcus is less ventrally bent than in Suruga fundicola Jordan & Snyder, 1901. However, it is too eroded for proper identification.
