Regional Fish-Based Biostratigraphy of the Late Neogene and Pleistocene of Southeastern Europe

Regional Fish-Based Biostratigraphy of the Late Neogene and Pleistocene of Southeastern Europe

This paper presents analytical results of the study of numerous freshwater fish fossils from almost 40 localities in the territory of southeastern Europe. It has been established that freshwater fishes can be regarded as parastratigraphic group suitable for biostratigraphic studies. Ten ichthyofauna...

Ten ichthyofaunal assemblages have been distinguished and characterized in the paper.

Indices of evolutionary transformations (extinction rate, origination rate, taxonomic rotation) for ichthyofaunal assemblages have been calculated, and their trend is discussed herein.https://doi.org/10.1515/vzoo-2017-0045freshwater fishesfaunal assemblageevolutioncenozoiceastern europe
