Abstract

In the deposits of the Middle–Late Miocene of the deep-water Kurasi Formation of Southwestern Sakhalin, a destroyed skeleton of the wolffish head Anarhichadidae gen. et sp. indet. was found. This is the most ancient find of the fossil representative of the family. The features of the dentition of the lower jaw and the vomer of the Miocene fish is similar to those of a modern Atlantic species: spotted wolffish Anarhichas minor.
