Fish OtolitesFish ostolites are small calcareous bones from a fish's earing system, dispersed after the death and decomposition of the fish, and were later buried and fossilized. They are one of the many microfossils which can be found though a micropalaeontological analysis of a fine sediment. Their stratigraphic significance is minimal, but can still be used to characterize a level or interval.
