Abstract
Some discoveries from the continental deposits of the paleogeographic
landmass named the ?Ha?eg Island? complete the fossil record of the
Maastrichtian fish fauna of Europe. Teeth belonging to the Lonchidiidae and
three morphotypes of Teleostei indet. Are reported herein, from the
uppermost Cretaceous continental formations cropping out in the Ha?eg and
Transylvanian sedimentary basins of Romania. These fishes document a
terrestrial realm, where various aquatic environments occurred ca. 70 Ma
ago, immediately after the ?Laramian? (latest Cretaceous) tectonic pulse. It
is important to note the presence of a brackish water shark, reported for
the first time in the Maastrichtian deposits of Romania. This advance in
research argues for a higher Cretaceous fish diversity in Transylvania than
previously suggested. Therefore, the ecology of the ancient vertebrate
communities is better documented with elements unknown so far.
