Referred Specimens in Fitch (1968:23) : Otoliths of C. aim tens is (= L, almtensis) have been found in several 
southern California Pliocene and Pleistocene deposits (see Remarks). 
Referred Specimens in Nolf (1985:97k Cites Fitch (1967) that otoliths are known from the Pliocene of 
California (see Remarks). 
Remarks : Fitch (1967:19-21) reported otoliths of C aleutensis from LACMIP locality 435 (Lomita Marl), a 
locality he believed was of Pliocene age, but is now considered Pleistocene (Blake 1991; Dibblee 1999). 
Because LACMIP locality 435 was the only specific locality identified, the presence of otoliths of 
C aleutensis in the California Neogene is questionable.
