The Plio-Pleistocene Kazusa Group, situated in the middle and upper basin of the Tama River in Northwestern Tokyo, Japan is known to have yielded various vertebrates, including both terrestrial and marine mammals as well as chondrichthyan fishes. Recently, osteichthyan fish fossils have been discovered from this stratum. Notably, marine fish fossils have been discovered in the Oyabe, Hirayama, Komiya, Oyamada, and Renkoji formations of Kazusa Group. Of these formations, the Oyabe Formation has revealed Clupeiformes and the first East Asian fossils of the Plotosidae, while the Renkoji Formation has yielded Clupeiformes, Clupeidae, Engraulidae, and the second recorded occurrence of the Mugilidae in Japan. These recent discoveries suggest that the Kazusa Group in Northwestern Tokyo has the potential to be a significant stratum for the study of Quaternary marine fossil osteichthyan fishes.

Inferring collective behaviour from a fossilized fish shoal Reviewed

Collective motion by animal groups can emerge from simple rules that govern each individual's interactions with its neighbours. Studies of extant species have shown how such rules yield coordinated group behaviour, but little is known of their evolutionary origins or whether extinct group-living organisms used similar rules. Here, we report evidence consistent with coordinated collective motion in a fossilized group of the extinct fish Erismatopterus levatus, and we infer possible behavioural rules that underlie it. We found traces of two rules for social interaction similar to those used by extant fishes: repulsion from close individuals and attraction towards neighbours at a distance. Moreover, the fossilized fish showed group-level structures in the form of oblong shape and high polarization, both of which we successfully reproduced in simulations incorporating the inferred behavioural rules. Although it remains unclear how the fish shoal's structure was preserved in the fossil, these findings suggest that fishes have been forming shoals by combining sets of simple behavioural rules since at least the Eocene. Our study highlights the possibility of exploring the social communication of extinct animals, which has been thought to leave no fossil record.

Current state of research on Quaternary freshwater fossil fishes in Japan Reviewed

Fossils 105 ( 0 ) 9 - 20 2019
Authorship：Lead author Language：Japanese Publisher：日本古生物学会
Quaternary freshwater fish fossils are significant to consider the biogeographical history and evolution of Recent and Neogene freshwater fishes. In the present study, previous studies of Quaternary freshwater fish fossils from Japan are reviewed with the updated geological datum of each fossil bed.In Japan, Pleistocene sediments (e.g. Kobiwako Group) have yielded many pharyngeal teeth of cyprinids as well as spines and bones of siluriformes, which contribute to paleobiogeographical and histological studies of these taxa, although the fossils are fragments. Fish fossils from the Miyajima Formation of Tochigi and the Nogami Formation of Oita could possibly be utilized to calibrate molecular clocks of molecular phylogenetics, because these can be identified at the species level based on the articulated and well-preserved fossil specimens.Studies of fish bones and scales from shell mound remains of the Jomon period revealed the existence of extinct cyprinid groups of present Japan and regional extinction during the Holocene time in Japan. These studies are important to discuss the relationships between the transition of fish fauna and human activities.

「県の化石」玖珠盆地産淡水魚類化石の分類学的研究

大分県玖珠盆地に分布する中部更新統野上層からは珪藻，植物，昆虫および淡水魚類の化石が産出する．野上層産淡水魚類化石のように全身骨格が保存された更新世の淡水魚類化石は稀であり，日本だけでなく東アジアの淡水魚類相を理解する上で重要である．また，日本地質学会より「大分県の化石」としても指定されており，地域の教育資源としても重要な化石群である．本研究ではニゴイ属化石について現生種との比較検討を行った．
結果，玖珠盆地産ニゴイ属魚類の化石は，歯骨，主鰓蓋骨，下鰓蓋骨，椎骨数の特徴の組み合わせから現生種とは異なることが明らかとなった．したがって，絶滅種の可能性がるため，今後は種の記載を行う予定である．
