Here we 13 reassess the affinities of a felid from the early upper Miocene of Turkey, known by well-preserved 14 associated upper and lower dentitions. We conclude that it belongs to the same genus 15 (Miopanthera Kretzoi, 1938) as the middle Miocene 'Styriofelis' lorteti (Gaillard, 1899), and that 16 this genus is close to, if not part of, the Panthera clade. 17 18 Keywords: Carnivora – Felidae – Pantherini – Phylogeny – Upper Miocene – Turkey 19 20 Introduction 21 The Felidae can be divided in two subfamilies (Johnson et al. 2006; Werdelin et al. 2010) 22 Felinae (= Pantherinae, or big cats, plus Felinae, or smaller cats, in e.g., Wilson and Mittermeier 23 2009) and Machairodontinae, although their monophyly is hard to demonstrate, the second one 24 being extinct. The Neogene fossil record of the Machairodontinae, or saber-toothed felids, is 25 satisfactory, but that of other members of the family, conveniently called conical-toothed felids 26 (although several of them have compressed, flattened canines) is much more patchy.

  • The Upper Messinian Assemblages of Fossil Vertebrate Remains of Verduno (NW Italy): Another Brick for a Latest Miocene Bridge Across the Mediterranean
    N. Jb. Geol. Paläont. Abh. 272/3 (2014), 287–324 Article E Stuttgart, June 2014 The upper Messinian assemblages of fossil vertebrate remains of Verduno (NW Italy): Another brick for a latest Miocene bridge across the Mediterranean Simone Colombero, Chiara Angelone, Edmondo Bonelli, Giorgio Carnevale, Oreste Cavallo, Massimo Delfino, Piero Giuntelli, Paul Mazza, Giulio Pavia, Marco Pavia, and Giovanni Repetto With 12 figures and 3 tables Abstract: A considerable amount of vertebrate remains have been found in the upper Messinian Cassano Spinola Conglomerates Formation, which crops out along the Tanaro River near Verduno (Piedmont). The fossil-bearing deposits were deposited during the third stage of the Messinian Sa- linity Crisis (5.55-5.33 Ma) in connection with the ‘Lago-Mare’ event. Sedimentological evidence indicates that the deposition of this Formation originated in a variety of fresh- and brackish-water environments. This is the most diverse Late Miocene faunal community found in NW Italy up to now, and includes remains of fish (cyprinodontiforms and putative lophiiforms), amphibians (bufo- nids, ranids), reptiles (testudinids, geoemydids, lacertids, anguids, varanids, agamids, amphisbae- nians, scolecophidians, colubrids), birds (galliforms, accipitriforms and strigiforms) and mammals (proboscideans, perissodactyls, artiodactyls, carnivores, insectivores, rodents and lagomorphs). The tetrapod assemblages are consistent with the late Turolian age inferred based on sedimentological evidence and indicative of an open, semi-arid woodland savanna with at least modest, sparse fresh and brackish water bodies. The Verduno fossil assemblages share faunal similarities with coeval ones of southwest, central, and eastern Europe, as well as of peninsular Italy. Located at the crossroads between the two sides of the Mediterranean, northwestern Italy witnessed faunal exchanges between the different corners of the European continent.

    Synopsis of the terrestrial vertebrate faunas from the Middle Kura Basin (Eastern Georgia and Western Azerbaijan, South Caucasus) MAIA BUKHSIANIDZE and KAKHABER KOIAVA Bukhsianidze, M. and Koiava, K. 2018. Synopsis of the terrestrial vertebrate faunas from the Middle Kura Basin (Eastern Georgia and Western Azerbaijan, South Caucasus). Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 63 (3): 441–461. This paper summarizes knowledge on the Neogene–Quaternary terrestrial fossil record from the Middle Kura Basin accumulated over a century and aims to its integration into the current research. This fossil evidence is essential in understanding the evolution of the Eurasian biome, since this territory is located at the border of Eastern Mediterranean and Central Asian regions. The general biostratigraphic framework suggests existence of two major intervals of the terrestrial fossil record in the area, spanning ca. 10–7 Ma and ca. 3–1 Ma, and points to an important hiatus between the late Miocene and late Pliocene. General aspects of the paleogeographic history and fossil record suggest that the biogeographic role of the Middle Kura Basin has been changing over geological time from a refugium (Khersonian) to a full-fledged part of the Greco-Iranian province (Meotian–Pontian). The dynamic environmental changes during the Quaternary do not depict this territory as a refugium in its general sense. The greatest value of this fossil record is the potential to understand a detailed history of terrestrial life during demise of late Miocene Hominoidea in Eurasia and early Homo dispersal out of Africa. Late Miocene record of the Middle Kura Basin captures the latest stage of the Eastern Paratethys regression, and among other fossils counts the latest and the easternmost occurence of dryopithecine, Udabnopithecus garedziensis, while the almost uninterrupted fossil record of the late Pliocene–Early Pleistocene covers the time interval of the early human occupation of Caucasus and Eurasia.

    Carnivora (Mammalia) from the late Miocene of Akkas ¸ dag ˘ ı, Turkey Louis de BONIS Laboratoire de Géobiologie, Biochronologie et Paléontologie humaine, UMR 6046 du CNRS, Faculté des Sciences, Université de Poitiers, 40 avenue du recteur Pineau, F-86022 Poitiers (France) [email protected] Bonis L. de 2005. — Carnivora (Mammalia) from the late Miocene of Akkas ¸ dag ˘ ı, Turkey, in Sen S. (ed.), Geology, mammals and environments at Akkas ¸ dag ˘ ı, late Miocene of Central Anatolia. Geodiversitas 27 (4) : 567-589. ABSTRACT Volcanic ashes in Akkas¸ dag˘ ı (Turkey) have yielded well preserved remains of late Miocene Carnivora belonging to three families. The Hyaenidae are the most abundant. Adcrocuta eximia , a very common large animal, and Ictitherium viverrinum were first described from the Greek locality Pikermi. The type specimen of Hyaenictitherium wongii has been found in China but KEY WORDS the species is also present in European or Western Eurasian localities. Mammalia, Carnivora, Thalassictis spelaea and cf. Thalassictis sp. are less common but they were Hyaenidae, recovered from several European localities. The felid Felis cf. attica is a cat Felidae, Mustelidae, which is similar in size to Leptailurus serval ; its type locality is Pikermi but it late Miocene, has also been found at some other sites in Europe and Asia. Another, larger Turolian, felid is known from some limb bones. Skunks are not very common in Asian Akkas¸ dag˘ ı, Central Anatolia, or European fossil localities.
