no individual specimens mentioned, only the presence of the genus in the deposit He did not distinguish 
between teeth and otoliths as remains. 
Referred Specimens in Fitch and Lavenberg H 971:132V Authors note that otoliths of Sebastes are abundant in 
Pliocene deposits along the California coast. 
Remarks : Pierce identified the scale as Sebastodes aff. S. elongates, but this was based on an unpublished 
manuscript of David. According to Powell (1998:70-71), LACMIP locality 423 (= LACM locality 3245) 
is in Pleistocene strata, therefore a Pliocene record of Sebastes sp. from this locality is questionable.
