Figure 82. t Genyonemus whistieri Takeuchi and Huddleston 2008a, holotype, LACM 144152, right counterpart (A), left counter¬ 
part (B) [from image provided by Gary Takeuchi (LACM)]; scale bar equals 2 cm. 
Hill (= Interstate 405 and Cherry Avenue, Long Beach), Fernando Formation, Plio-Pleistocene, Los 
Angeles County; 687 otoliths (see Remarks). 
Referred Specimens in Fitch (1967:13.19-2D : On page 13, he noted that otoliths of G. lineatus are abundant 
in southern California and Pleistocene deposits, especially in an unnamed site in the Pliocene San Diego 
Foimation (presumably LACMIP locality 305 [=LACM locality 44213], San Diego, San Diego 
Formation, Late Pliocene, San Diego County). On pages 19-21, he discussed the similarities and differ¬ 
ences in the fish faunas between Pleistocene localities (LACMIP locality 130, 332 and others) and the 
Pliocene LACMIP locality 435 (=LACM localities 3065, 3759), Miraleste Canyon, Lomita Marl 
Formation, Los Angeles County. He concluded that G. lineatus was present in most all Pleistocene sites 
as well as LACMIP locality 435. No specific specimens were mentioned (see Remarks). 
Referred Specimens in Downs (1968) : One otolith (text-fig. 25E). The figure legend lists a general age as 
Pliocene and Pleistocene for the specimen. 
Referred Specimens in Fitch (1968:14) : Otoliths of G. lineatus are the most abundant fish remains in southern 
California Pliocene and Pleistocene deposits. They comprise 6,409 of the 11,000 otoliths recovered from 
the San Diego Formation (presumably LACMIP locality 305 [= LACM locality 44213], San Diego, San 
Diego Formation, Late Pliocene, San Diego County). 
Remarks : Fitch (1967, 1968) listed otoliths of M zonurus from LACMIP locality 435 (Lomita Marl), a local¬ 
ity he believed was of Pliocene age, but now considered Pleistocene (Blake 1991; Dibblee 1999).
