Abstract
    The fossil fish described by Stovall and McAnulty (1939) as Plancteruskansae, from beds of presumed Pliocene age in Oklahoma, are not referable to that genus nor to the family Cyprinodontidae (order Cyprinodontes), but rather to the family Atherinidae (suborder Percesoces, order Percomorphi). The fossil imprints closely resemble the Recent Mississippian species Menidia audens and are tentatively identified as Menidia sp.
