Van Hinsbergh, Victor W. M. & Helwerda, Renate A., 2019, Fish Otoliths from the Cabarruyan Piacenzian-Gelasian fauna found in the Philippines, Zootaxa 4563 (3), pp. 401-443 : 422

Carapidae indeterminate

(Figure 70)

Material: 2 specimens in total. Anda3 (2) RGM 962237, RGM 962238 .

One eroded otolith (OL:OH= 1.33) and one juvenile belonging to the Carapidae are available which match with Onuxodon margaritiferae (Rendahl, 1921) depicted by Rivaton and Bourret (1999) (plate 9 fig. 7–8), which dwells in reefs off the Indo-Pacific coasts. However, several other Carapidae species are closely related, and the specimens are not sufficiently conserved for species identification.
