A new Mammutidae (Proboscidea, Mammalia) from the Late Miocene of Gansu Province, China.
The "Yanghecun specimen", a proboscidean specimen represented by a mandible from Miocene of China and previously described as Gomphotheriidae, is here reviewed and described as a new genus and species of Mammutidae: Sinomammut tobieni. This taxon is a longirostrine mastodon, lacking lower tusks, and bearing a wide last molar with oblique and non-inflated lophids, broad transverse interlophids, ...
متن کاملFirst 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...
متن کاملTaxonomic review of fossil Proboscidea (Mammalia) from Langebaanweg, South Africa
Comparative morphological and metric study of proboscidean dental fossils from the Quartzose (QSM) and Pelletal Phosphate (PPM) Members of the Varswater Formation at Langebaanweg, South Africa, identifies the presence in the fauna of an anancine gomphothere and two species of elephant. The gomphothere, from the QSM and PPM, displays a unique combination of primitive and derived molar features, ...
متن کاملPopulation structure of the gomphothere Stegomastodon waringi (Mammalia: Proboscidea: Gomphotheriidae) from the Pleistocene of Brazil.
The Quaternary fossil record of Águas de Araxá (Q AA) is represented mainly by an accumulation of skeletal elements of several sizes, which are assigned to a population of Stegomastodon waringi. We analyzed 97 molars according to the ear stages of Simpson and Paula-Couto (1957), and developed a morphometric ear index. The population structure (proportion of immature, subadult, adult, mature adu...
متن کاملReview of Eocene Anthracobunidae (mammalia, Proboscidea) with a New Genus and Species, Jozaria Palustris, from the Kuldana Formation of Kohat (pakistan)
-Anthracobune and its primitive bunodont-bilophodont herbivorous allies from the Eocene of Indo-Pakistan are grouped together in a new family, Anthracobunidae. Anthracobunids are interpreted as basal "tethytheres" that are probably broadly ancestral to proboscideans, sirenians, and desmostylians. The family includes five genera and species: Anthracobune pinfoldi Pilgrim, 1940; Lammidhania wardi...
