Fish remains from Paleogene deposits of Kyiv and its vicinities were first collected and described by O.S. Rogovich in the mid-19th century. Here we have carried out a re-examination of chondrichthyan fossils from Rogovich's collection and evaluated several later records, all of which were recovered from middle Eocene deposits. In total, 88 specimens represented by teeth, vertebrae, and other skeletal elements were analysed and described. As a result, the sample revealed to a single chimaeriform species <i>(Edaphodon bucklandi)</i>, and 12 shark and two ray taxa, respectively. Ten sharks were identified to species level, whereas the rays could be identified only at higher systematic ranks (Myliobatidae, Myliobatiformes). Several nomenclatural changes are proposed here, including the synonimisation of <i>Carcharodon megalotis, C. lanceolatus, C. productus, Lamna cuspidata, L. denticulata, L. compressa, L. (Odontaspis) hispida, L. lata, Oxyrhina brevidens</i>, and <i>O. biflena</i> with more recently proposed taxa. Seven species erected by Rogovich <i>(Galeocerdo paradoxus, Otodus microtus, Lamna elegans, Oxyrhina falcata, Oxyrhina leptodon, Chomatodus dubius</i>, and <i>Hybodus helophorus</i>) are suggested to most likely be <i>nomina dubia</i>. Many identified taxa represent the epi- and mesopelagic fishes and only a relatively small number of them belong to benthopelagic, demersal, and bathydemersal forms.

However, the first occurrences of the genus were from a smaller-bodied species, A. prenasalis , known from South Dakota and Nebraska that are about 34 million years old (latest Eocene to earliest Oligocene). Ancestors of A. prenasalis were likewise small-bodied and are from the Great Plains. This 16 mil-lion-year-gap has left open questions regarding the arrival and body size shift of Alligator from what is now the Great Plains to southeastern North America. Recently studied fossil material from Florida exhibits the oldest occurrence of Alligator in the region (about 28–26 million years ago). A well-preserved premaxilla (UF 422816) bears the diagnostic premaxillary 'notch' of Alligator . Additional material from this and two other Oligocene sites in Florida are indicative of Alligator as well. These include well-devel-oped osteoderms, which suggest possible maturity at small body size.

This new cyprinodontiform fish exhibits the diagnostic features of the family Goodeidae and subfamily Goodeinae; like all the goodeids, its premaxilla has a straight distal end, and its premaxillary ascending process is small; and, like the goodeines, this new species was viviparous, its first anal fin ray is rudimentary, and the males show an andropodium. Although P. guzmanae displays numerous primitive features, it is not possible to place it in any of the goodeine tribes, which currently are vaguely defined by osteological features. This new species seems to be closely related to Characodon; both share a peculiar osteological character; the articular facet for the quadrate is a donut-like structure, in which the retroarticular forms the central region, and a couple of semicircular anguloarticular processes form the surrounding part. This species differs from other goodeids mainly in two features; it has a posttemporal bone with small anteroventral processes, and the openings of its supraorbital canal show the formula12a, 2b-3a, 3b-4a, 4b-5a, and 5b-7. The discovery of this extinct goodeid species in the great Pánuco-Salado Basin on the eastern slope of Mexican territory represents an unexpected historical element. Carmen Caballero-Viñas.
