Pleistocene fish otoliths from the Mediterranean Basin: a synthesis
International audience An overview of upper pPliocene and Pleistocene otolith assemblages is compiled on the basis of both literature data and newly collected material from several sections located mainly in southern Italy. One hundred and five taxa are listed. Additional comments are provided for t...
