The dissertation concentrates on the study of otoliths and teeth of bony fish from Paleogene deposits of Ukraine. 94 otolith-based species were described by results of study of this collection. 67 of them were identified for the first time for Ukraine and Kazakhstan (Mangishlak). 26 new species were established. 62 species from 16 genera were identified by teeth. Six association characteristic of regional stages of Ukraine were established based on the study of species composition of bony fish otoliths and their stratigraphic distribution.
