Fossil deep-sea snapper (Actinopterygii: Lutjanidae) from the Last Interoceanic Central American Deep Strait (LICADS) Open
Although lutjanid snappers are widely distributed and diverse marine fishes living in tropical America (the Central Western Atlantic and Central Eastern Pacific), no fossil skeletons of Lutjanidae are reported from the Neogene. Here we des…

Fossil evidence for earlier radiation in istiophorid billfishes (Teleostei, Istiophoriformes) uncovered by comparative morphology of the caudal vertebrae Open
Billfishes include some of the largest pelagic teleostean species, but several aspects about their morphology, paleobiology, and evolution remain ambiguous. Their fossil record is fragmentary and mostly represented by rostral and skull rem…

Neogene Proto-Caribbean porcupinefishes (Diodontidae) Open
Fossil Diodontidae in Tropical America consist mostly of isolated and fused beak-like jawbones, and tooth plate batteries. These durophagous fishes are powerful shell-crushing predators on shallow water invertebrate faunas from Neogene tro…
