Abstract
Abstract. Connectivity and climate control fish distribution today
as well as in the geological past. We present here the Aquitanian (early
Miocene) marine fish of the Mesohellenic Basin, a restricted basin at the
border between the proto-Mediterranean and Paratethyan seas. Based on fish
otoliths, we were able to identify 19 species from 17 genera, including two
new species: Ariosoma mesohellenica and Gnathophis elongatus. This fish assemblage, in conjunction with the
accompanying molluscan assemblage, indicates a variable shelf
paleoenvironment with easy access to the open ocean. Although available data
on the Indo-Pacific fishes of the early Miocene are very limited, the fish
fauna of the Mesohellenic Basin has many elements in common with the North
Sea, the NE Atlantic, and the Paratethys.
期刊介绍：
Fossil Record (FR) is the palaeontological journal of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin. This journal was founded in 1998 under the name Mitteilungen aus dem Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, Geowissenschaftliche Reihe and appears with two issues each year. Fossil Record publishes original papers in all areas of palaeontology including the taxonomy and systematics of fossil organisms, biostratigraphy, palaeoecology, and evolution. All taxonomic groups are treated, including invertebrates, microfossils, plants, and vertebrates.
