متن کاملThe Late Miocene paleoenvironment of Afghanistan as inferred from dental microwear in artiodactyls
Dental microwear of Late Miocene artiodactyls from Afghanistan can yield information on paleodiet and thus inferences can be drawn about their paleoenvironment. The ‘‘Molayan’’ locality lies at the border between the Greek–Iranian and Siwalik bioprovinces. Knowledge of the paleoenvironment will further our understanding of the faunal exchanges between these two provinces during the Late Miocene...
