Salmo Munzuricus
''Salmo'' is a genus of ray-finned fish from the subfamily Salmoninae of family (biology), family Salmonidae, and is part of the tribe (biology), tribe Salmonini along with the sister genera ''Salvelinus'' and ''Salvethymus''. Almost all ''Salmo'' species are native only in the Old World (including most of Europe, coastal North Africa and part of West Asia around the Black Sea), the only exception being the Atlantic salmon (''Salmo salar''), which is also naturally found across the North Atlantic in eastern North America. The number of distinct species and subspecies in ''Salmo'' is a debated issue. The Atlantic salmon and brown trout (''Salmo trutta'') are widespread species and have been introduced species, introduced worldwide as pisciculture, farmed food fish or recreational fishing, recreational game fish, while most of the other ''Salmo'' species are narrowly distributed forms endemism, endemic to single drainage basin, watersheds. The name ''Salmo'' derives from the Latin ...

Middle Miocene
The Middle Miocene is a sub-epoch of the Miocene epoch (geology), epoch made up of two Stage (stratigraphy), stages: the Langhian and Serravallian stages. The Middle Miocene is preceded by the Early Miocene. The sub-epoch lasted from 15.97 ± 0.05 Ma (million years ago) to 11.608 ± 0.005 Ma. During this period, a sharp drop in global temperatures took place. This event is known as the Middle Miocene disruption, Middle Miocene Climatic Transition. For the purpose of establishing European land mammal ages, this sub-epoch is equivalent to the Astaracian age. References External links GeoWhen Database - Middle Miocene
