Fish otoliths from the Paleocene (Selandian) of West Greenland
Fish otoliths are described from the Middle Paleocene from Nuussuaq in central West Greenland. A total of 24 species is described, 7 as newly established and 4in open nomenclature. All specimens were obtained from the Sonja lens of the Agatdal Formation (Selandian) in the central part of the Nuussua...
