Abstract

The studies presented in this special issue describe and evaluate otoliths in situ in 18 species of extinct Paratethyan fishes, 17 from Sarmatian, and one from Karaganian deposits. Together with previously described fishes from the area with otoliths in situ and additional works which we are aware of being in progress, this time interval has now yielded 34 fish species with otoliths in situ, approximately equivalent to one-third of the entire Sarmatian fish fauna of the Paratethys known to date. Therefore, it represents by far the most diverse fossil fish fauna with otoliths in situ. The implications of the linking of skeletal and otolith data are briefly discussed as well as the prospects for future research. The anecdotal history of the formation of the work group which became engaged in these studies is presented.
