New Data on Morphology, Taxonomy and Palaeoecology of Bony Fishes from the Middle-Late Miocene of Mykhailivka Locality (Southern Ukraine)
Kovalchuk O. M.
Summary:
The article deals with results of studying of the bony fish osteological material from the Mykhailivka locality of fossil vertebrates, dated by the middle to late Samatian (middle-late Miocene), from the territory of Ukraine. A total of 16 species, belonging to 15 genera, 7 families and 4 orders were identified. The faunal composition of the Mykhailivka 1 indicates slightly brackish environment, while the fauna of Mykhailivka 2 existed in freshwater conditions. A new data on palaeoecology and palaeogeography of this locality in relation to other Sarmatian palaeocommunities within the Eastern Paratethys area based on isolated fish bones are presented in the paper.
