A Mandible of Indraloris (primates, Lorisidae) from the Miocene of India
نویسنده
چکیده
A partial mandible of a large lorisid primate is described. The specimen (YPM 19134) comes from probable late Miocene deposits in northeastern India and consists of a fragment of a left mandibular ramus containing M3, the roots of M2 and the posterior root of Mi. The third molar resembles the M3 of modern Nycticebus coucang borneanus; the specimen is referred to Indraloris cf. lulli. Unfotunately, because of its specialized nature, YPM 19134 affords no clue as to lorisid ancestry. POSTILLA 123: 10 p. 20 AUGUST 1968.

Remarkable ancient divergences amongst neglected lorisiform primates.
Lorisiform primates (Primates: Strepsirrhini: Lorisiformes) represent almost 10% of the living primate species and are widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa and South/South-East Asia; however, their taxonomy, evolutionary history, and biogeography are still poorly understood. In this study we report the largest molecular phylogeny in terms of the number of represented taxa. We sequenced the ...

The great ape and human clade (Primates: Hominidae) currently includes orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, and humans. When, where, and from which taxon hominids evolved are among the most exciting questions yet to be resolved. Within the Afropithecidae, the Kenyapithecinae (Kenyapithecini + Equatorini) have been proposed as the sister taxon of hominids, but thus far the fragmentary and...

Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MC) is an uncommon tumor with an aggressive behaviour. We present two cases of MC. The first one is a unique case of MC of the maxilla metastasized from the clavicle. The second describes MC in the mandible with extensive involvement of the condyle. A 31-year-old male and a 22-year-old male presented to Saveetha Dental College, with a 2-month history of progressiv...

Gorham’s disease is a rare and atypical disorder epitomized by progressive osteolysis of bone with eventual total disappearance of bone. The etiology is poorly understood with variable clinical presentation. Most times it is initially misdiagnosed as temporomandibular joint dysfunction, periodontal disease or odontogenic tumors clinically and radiographical...
