Abstract
Sampling carried out for the extensive study of a flora in the Upper M iocene (Upper Tortonian) marine sediments of the Makrilia Formation in the Ierapetra region of Crete (Greece), yielded also a few fossil fis h remains. They may be referred to the following taxa: Bregmaceros alb yi (Sauvage 1880), Lepidopus sp, Clupeids and probably a myctophid of uncertain identity. The nature of their preservation allows to surmise that a fast burial and after that a transport to deeper regions of th e shelf slope may have occurred.
