Zaproridae
The prowfish (''Zaprora silenus'') is a species of Scorpaeniformes, scorpaeniform marine fish found in the northern Pacific Ocean. It is the only Extant taxon, extant member of the family, Zaproridae. There are 2 extinct species only known with fossil records, ''Zaprora koreana'' from the Middle Miocene Duho Formation in Pohang, South Korea. Another genus, ''Araeosteus rothi'', is known from the Monterey Formation and the Modelo Formation in Southern California. Prowfish range from the Aleutian Islands, Alaska west to Kamchatka Peninsula, Kamchatka, Russia; from Navarin Canyon in the Bering Sea south to Hokkaidō, Japan and Monterey, California, Monterey, California. An otherwise little-known species, prowfish are important to subsistence fishery, fisheries in remote regions. Growing to a length of , prowfish have stout, laterally compressed and elongated bodies. They have single, somewhat high dorsal fin running nearly the entire length of the back; it may contain 54–58 pli ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Duho Formation
The Duho Formation () is a Middle Miocene geological Formation (geology), formation in Pohang, South Korea. This formation is deposited in a Deep sea, deep marine Depositional environment, environment and is roughly dated to around based on various analyses. It is the uppermost unit of the Yeonil Group of Pohang Basin and mainly composed of yellow-brown to dark gray mudstones. Geology The deposition of the Pohang Basin began some time after , corresponding to the Early Miocene, based on zircon U-Pb dating. This deep-marine basin was probably produced by rapid subsidence around , following the abrupt ending of the Strike-slip tectonics, strike-slip deformation and volcanism, volcanic activity, and experienced tectonic inactivity for 5 to 7 million years until the crustal uplift in southeastern Korea around which caused the sedimentation to cease. The basin was likely a pelagic zone around based on biostratigraphy analysis. The intrusive basalt of the Yeonil Group from the sout ...
