Funde gibt es aus Nordamerika, Afrika und Europa, z. B. aus dem italienischen Monte Bolca (Thunnus lanceolatus).
The Monte Bolca fossil is no longer classified as Thunnus lanceolatus. It was revised out of Thunnus and is now placed in the fossil genus Godsilia.
Full reasoning
The taxonomic identification here is outdated. The Monte Bolca fossil long referred to as Thunnus/Thynnus lanceolatus was revised in later work and is no longer placed in the modern tuna genus Thunnus.
- The Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle catalogs the Monte Bolca specimen as Godsilia lanceolatus, and its determination history cites Monsch (2006).
- The taxonomic revision by Monsch states that species generally known as †Thynnus lanceolatus were renamed †Godsilia lanceolata comb. nov.
So citing the Monte Bolca example specifically as Thunnus lanceolatus is taxonomically incorrect by current usage.
