New records of teleosts from the Late Turonian (Late Cretaceous) of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin (Czech Republic)
Abstract
New discoveries of articulated partial skeletons of teleosts from Upper Turonian strata in the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin (BCB) are described. The infrequent occurrence of articulated skeletons is discussed and compared with comparable taxa from the same time-equivalent successions in southern England. The similarity suggests links between both regions during the Late Turonian. Some palaeoecological interpretations of the fishes are provided.
