Coelorinchus sp. (Fig. 4V, W) Material. Three large, strongly eroded and incomplete specimens, NRM-PZ P.15911, P.15983. Occurrence. Site IAA 1/90, La Meseta Formation, Seymour Island, Antarctica. Description. These large otoliths up to at least 9 mm in length are readily recognized by their strongly expanded predorsal lobe and the strongly convex inner face and strongly concave outer face. Remarks. They represent no doubt a third, yet undescribed species, but none of the specimens are wellenough preserved to serve as the type specimen.
