Actinopterygii

Actinopterygii, members of which are known as ray-finned fish or actinopterygians, is a class of bony fish that comprise over 50% of living vertebrate species.

Animal

Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia.

Carassius

Carassius is a genus in the ray-finned fish family Cyprinidae. Palaeocarassius and Carassius are Cyprininae.

A chordate is a deuterostomic animal belonging to the phylum Chordata. All chordates possess, at some point during their larval or adult stages, five distinctive physical characteristics (synapomorphies) that distinguish them from other taxa.

Crucian carp

The crucian carp (Carassius carassius) is a medium-sized member of the common carp family Cyprinidae.

Cyprinidae

Cyprinidae is a family of freshwater fish commonly called the carp or minnow family, including the carps, the true minnows, and their relatives the barbs and barbels, among others.

Cypriniformes

Cypriniformes is an order of ray-finned fish, which includes many families and genera of cyprinid (carps and their kin) fish, such as barbs, gobies, loaches, botias, and minnows (among others).

Cyprininae

The Cyprininae are one of at least 11 subfamilies of cyprinid fish.

Cyprinus

Cyprinus is the genus of typical carps in family Cyprinidae. Palaeocarassius and Cyprinus are Cyprininae.

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

Miocene

The Miocene is the first geological epoch of the Neogene Period and extends from about (Ma).

Otolith

An otolith (ὠτο-, ōto- ear + λῐ́θος, líthos, a stone), also called statoconium, otoconium or statolith, is a calcium carbonate structure in the saccule or utricle of the inner ear, specifically in the vestibular system of vertebrates.
