A Late Miocene Pipine Frog from the Urumaco Formation, Venezuela

Palaeontological Evidence for the Last Temporal Occurrence of the Ancient Western Amazonian River Outflow into the Caribbean

Fossil catfishes from fluvio-lacustrine facies of late Miocene Urumaco, early Pliocene Castilletes and late Pliocene San Gregorio formations provide evidence of a hydrographic connection in what is today desert regions of northern Colombia and Venezuela. New discoveries and reevaluation of existing materials leads to the recognition of two new records of the pimelodid Brachyplatystoma cf. vaill...

First mammal fossil locality from the late Miocene of Zagros, western Iran

A new and the first mammal fossil locality from the Zagros Basin of Iran is reported here. The fossil locality, known as Dimeh, is located in the Lorestan province, west of Iran. The fauna includes abundant bovid cranial remains, mostly representing boselaphines and palaeoryxoids, as well as gazelles and spiral horned antelopes. Hipparionine horses similar to Hippotherium group are also represe...

late miocene herbivorous mammals from the southeast foothills of sahand

remains of fossil herbivorous mammal from families like elephantidae, rhinocerotidae, giraffidae, bovidae and equidae have been studied systematically from a new fossiliferous horizon from the ilkhchi area in the southeastern high foothills of sahand. genera such as hipparion, gazella, samotherium, chilotherium and choerolophodon and some undetermined specimens are identified and reported. base...

First Hominoid from the Late Miocene of the Irrawaddy Formation (Myanmar)

For over a century, a Neogene fossil mammal fauna has been known in the Irrawaddy Formation in central Myanmar. Unfortunately, the lack of accurately located fossiliferous sites and the absence of hominoid fossils have impeded paleontological studies. Here we describe the first hominoid found in Myanmar together with a Hipparion (s.l.) associated mammal fauna from Irrawaddy Formation deposits d...
