چکیده
At the end of the Middle Miocene the Caucasus represented a land forepart, the geographic position of which induced the development of peculiar flora and fauna in Eastern Georgia. On the territory of Eastern Georgia several reference fossil vertebrate sites are discovered, among them its worth mentioning Udabno (Maeotian), Dzedzvtakhevi (Maeotian), Iaghludja (Sarmatian-Maeotian), Kvabebi (Akchagilian) and others. In the Pliocene an interesting association of vertebrate fauna was developed, the early Homo becoming the most remarkable representative. © 2008 Bull. Georg. Natl. Acad. Sci.
