Abstract
Among the more important Upper Miocene fish from California, and particularly from the diatomaceous deposits at Lompoc, are certain large voracious types. This group is distinguished from all known living forms and has aroused interest among ichthyologists ever since the first specimens were described by Jordan and Gilbert (1919; 1920) as Thyrsocles kriegeri and Zaphleges longurio. These fish were first attributed to the Gempylidae but were later regarded as belonging in part to the Scombridae and in part to a distinct family—the Zaphlegidae—of rather uncertain relationships.
