Abstract

Four entities of the Cenozoic fish fossils were discovered in the Miocene Duho Formation, Pohang, Korea. these fossils were identified as the first Pleuronectiformes in Korea based on the following-the presence of postcleithrum, the elongation of the first proximal pterygiophore of the anal fin ray, almost consistent presence of two proximal pterygiophore of the anal fin rays between the two adjacent hemal spines, the fusion of the first and second hypurals, the fusion of the third and fourth hypurals and the first preural centrum, the presence of well-developed anteriormost plate-like neural spine, the presence of the urohyal like fish-hook and its elongated sciatic part, and the division of the parahypural from the first preural centrum. On the other hand, geological studies about the Duho Formation consistently claimed that shallow-sea creatures were washed away by meteorological events such as a great flood and deposited at the bottom of deep-sea by the turbidity current. However, in Duho Formation, only shallow-sea ones have been discovered thus far. This study reported that Flat fish, deep-sea creature, was discovered in Duho Formation for the first time in Korea.

신생대 어류 화석 4개체가 포항의 마이오세 두호층에서 발견되었다. 본 화석은 뒷지느러미의 앞쪽 담기골(pterygiophore)이 연장되어 있고, 후의쇄골(postcleithrum)이 존재하며, 두 개의 인접한 혈관극 사이에 뒷지느러미 담기골 두개가 거의 일정하게 존재한다. 그리고 첫 번째와 두 번째 하미축골(hypurals)이 융합되었고, 세 번째와 네 번째 하미축골과 첫 번째 전미추체(preural centrum)가 융합되어 있다. 그리고 두부인근의 잘 발달된 판상 신경극과 낚시바늘모양의 미설골(urohyal)이 존재하고, 그 좌골부(sciatic part)가 꺾여있다. 그리고 준하미골(parahypural)이 첫 번째 전미추체로부터 분리되어 있다. 이를 근거로 볼 때, 이 화석은 국내 최초의 가지미목으로 동정되었다. 그간의 두호층 지질학적 연구는 천해환경의 생물들이 육상의 큰 홍수와 같은 사건으로 떠내려가 저탁류에 의해 심해환경에서 퇴적되었다고 주장해 왔다. 하지만 여태껏 천해환경 생물들만 발견되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 두호층에서 최초로 심해생물인 가자미류가 보고되었다.
