Te otoliths are easily recognizable by their smooth, convex inner face with a shallow sulcus, which has a much widened ostial region and ostial lobe, and narrowed caudal tip. Te otolith outline does not usually show preventral or postdorsal projections. + + +Otoliths of + +D. telleri + +show a certain degree of variability and considerable allometric ontogenetic growth. Morphological variations of large specimens have been observed by +Radwańska (1992) +and Schwarzhans et. al. (2020a), particularly in the locality Niskowa in +Poland +; these variations have been tentatively attributed to alterations that may have resulted “from temporary fluctuations in salinity of the coastal waters” that may occur in a marginal marine environment with varying freshwater influx ( +Radwańska, 1992 +). Among the observed alterations in the otoliths from Niskowa were the reduction of the colliculum from the tapering cauda, reduction of the ostial lobe, and differences in otolith shape and thickness. Te largest specimen now available from the Medobory back-reef environment ( +Fig. 7a +) shares most of the characteristics observed in the specimens from Niskowa but stems from a completely different environments (reef-associated vs. marginal marine with freshwater influx). Terefore, it now seems possible that these morphotypes actually represent a different species. However, a wider review of otoliths attributed to + +D. telleri + +is necessary before a conclusive assessment can be made. + + +Te otoliths of + +Deltentosteus +aff. +telleri + +described here from the Medobory back reef are also remarkable in that they represent a rather complete ontogenetic sequence, which has thus far rarely been observed in the species, where the fossil record is dominated by adult specimens.

A clearly recognizable bulging transverse crest separates the labial and lingual faces in the middle of the crown. Te globular and non-cuspidate crown suggests that the described specimen belongs to a stingray female ( +Cappetta, 2012 +). Te labial visor is partly broken, and no ornamentation can be observed on the labial face. Te smooth lingual face is divided into two marginal lingual areas by a median lingual ridge. Tere are distinct marginal angles, one of which is more rounded, while the other is sharper. Te convex lingual visor partially overhangs the labial face of the root. Te latter is bilobed; its lobes slightly differ in width and are displaced lingually. Tere is a deep but quite narrow notch separating the lobes and reaching half of the root height. Weakly separated and wide root lobes also indicate that the tooth belongs to a female ( +Cappetta, 2012 +). + + +Discussion +Te specimen described shares diagnostic features of the genus + +Dasyatis +Rafinesque, 1810 + +, and differs from representatives of the genus + +Taeniurops +Garman, 1913 + +, in the non-hollowed labial face lacking sharp crests.
