Gadid otoliths are among the most common otoliths in the Neogene of Europe. To date, these have been recorded in situ and therefore correlated with the skeletal record only in two cases, Paratrisopterus avus and Palimphemus anceps. Here, we describe otoliths in situ from three gadiform taxa from the Sarmatian of the Central Paratethys—Palimphemus macropterygius, Paratrisopterus caspius and Enchelyopus susedanus.
