Panjab University along with the CRIKC institutions has been organizing CHASCON every year since 2007. The Congress has come a long way and continues to encourage the young and innovative minds by providing them with a suitable platform for interaction with researchers, academicians and industry leaders from all over the country. Several eminent scientists and experts from various fields are expected participate and deliberate on the theme. The technical sessions will comprise of plenary lectures, oral and poster presentations. The 14th Chandigarh Science Congress would be an event to rejoice science and technology and would showcase for what is being done and can be done in Chandigarh region to define the future India. ABOUT PANJAB UNIVERSITY Panjab University (PU), established in 1882 at Lahore (Now in Pakistan) was shifted to independent India in 1947. It is one of the four universities established in India before partition by the then Federal Government. In 1956, PU shifted to Chandigarh and in 1966, after re-organization of Punjab and was made as an Inter State Body Corporate under the Act of Parliament. PU is imparting education to over 2.5 lakh students through its 78 teaching and research departments located on the twin campus at Chandigarh and through 195 affiliated/constituent colleges spread over Punjab and Chandigarh besides 4 Regional centers at Mukatsar, Ludhiana, Hoshiarpur and Kauni. PU has a long tradition of pursuing excellence in teaching and research in Science & Technology, humanities, social sciences, performing arts and sports. By virtue of its history, experience, achievements, and philosophy, PU has a national character and it enjoys an international stature drawing both the faculty and students from all over the country and different parts of the globe. PU faculty includes some of the most distinguished scientists and academicians. Over the years, the reputation of the PU has grown to emerge as an institution at the pinnacle in innovative teaching, research and community outreach. Its alumni include two former Prime Ministers and several past and present cabinet ministers of the country, two Noble Laureates, a large number of Fellows of various Academies, both in Science and Social Science, Theatre Artists, Actors. There is hardly any sphere where the university has not made its mark. The university is ranked amongst the top Universities in India and Internationally by various agencies/bodies. 4 CHASCON 2020 ABOUT CHANDIGARH REGION INNOVATION AND KNOWLEDGE CLUSTER (CRICK) Initiated by PU, the institutions in Chandigarh region called for the creation of Knowledge Cluster in 2012, named as Chandigarh Region Innovation and Knowledge Cluster (crikc.puchd.ac.in) with a view to expand technological innovations by close collaboration of academia and the private and government sectors using accumulated knowledge. The ecosystem is expected to expand its technological innovations in Chandigarh region on a global level.

ISSN 2533-4050 (print), ISSN 2533-4069 (on-line). Abstract: The Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde in Karlsruhe houses an interesting collection of Turolian mammals from Mahmutgazi, Turkey, among which is a comprehensive sample of the large suid, Hippopotamodon erymanthius. The fossils plot out within the range of metric variation of H. erymanthius from Pikermi and Samos, Greece, but lie at the lower end of the range. Like the suids from these sites, the Mahmutgazi specimens lack the first premolar. Overall, the Mahmutgazi sample is metrically and morphologically close to the material from Akkaşdağı, Turkey. The upper and lower third molars and fourth premolars are, on average, smaller than those of Hippopotamodon major from Luberon, France (MN 13). Two undescribed fossils of H. ery- manthius from Pikermi are housed at the SMNK, and are included in this paper in order to fill out the data base for the species at this locality. The chronological position, palaeoecology and sexual dimorphism of the Mahmutgazi suids are discussed.

    EURASIAN MIDDLE AND LATE MIOCENE HOMINOID PALEOBIOGEOGRAPHY AND THE GEOGRAPHIC ORIGINS OF THE HOMININAE by Mariam C. Nargolwalla A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Anthropology University of Toronto © Copyright by M. Nargolwalla (2009) Eurasian Middle and Late Miocene Hominoid Paleobiogeography and the Geographic Origins of the Homininae Mariam C. Nargolwalla Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology University of Toronto 2009 Abstract The origin and diversification of great apes and humans is among the most researched and debated series of events in the evolutionary history of the Primates. A fundamental part of understanding these events involves reconstructing paleoenvironmental and paleogeographic patterns in the Eurasian Miocene; a time period and geographic expanse rich in evidence of lineage origins and dispersals of numerous mammalian lineages, including apes. Traditionally, the geographic origin of the African ape and human lineage is considered to have occurred in Africa, however, an alternative hypothesis favouring a Eurasian origin has been proposed. This hypothesis suggests that that after an initial dispersal from Africa to Eurasia at ~17Ma and subsequent radiation from Spain to China, fossil apes disperse back to Africa at least once and found the African ape and human lineage in the late Miocene. The purpose of this study is to test the Eurasian origin hypothesis through the analysis of spatial and temporal patterns of distribution, in situ evolution, interprovincial and intercontinental dispersals of Eurasian terrestrial mammals in response to environmental factors. Using the NOW and Paleobiology databases, together with data collected through survey and excavation of middle and late Miocene vertebrate localities in Hungary and Romania, taphonomic bias and sampling completeness of Eurasian faunas are assessed.

Microstonyx shows changes in incisor morphology, which are interpreted as a further adaptation to rooting. This occurred probably in a short period between 8.7 and 8.121 Ma ago and possibly is a reaction to environmental change. The incisor morphology in locality 58-HAY-2 suggests that it is temporally close to this change, which would imply that this locality and the lithostratigraphically lower 58-HAY-19 belong to the lower part of MN11 and not to MN12. The findings are discussed in the regional context and contribute to the knowledge of the Anatolian fossil mammals. Key words: Suidae, Microstonyx, rooting, ecology, Late Miocene 1. Introduction 1.1.

The specimen is a left adult mandibular corpus preserving strongly worn M2 and M3, fragmentary roots of P4 and M1, alveoli of canine and P3, and the lower half of the mandibular symphysis. In Southeast Asia, two Late Miocene medium-sized hominoids have been discovered so far: Lufengpithecus from the Yunnan Province, southern China, and Khoratpithecus from northern Thailand and central Myanmar. In particular, the mandibular specimen of Khoratpithecus was discovered from the neighboring village of Tebingan. However, the new mandible shows apparent differences from both genera in the shape of the outline of the mandibular symphyseal section. The new Tebingan mandible has a well-developed superior transverse torus, a deep intertoral sulcus (= genioglossal fossa), and a thin, shelf-like inferior transverse torus. In contrast, Lufengpithecus and Khoratpithecus each have very shallow intertoral sulcus and a thick, rounded inferior transverse torus.
  • Faunal and Environmental Change in the Late Miocene Siwaliks of Northern Pakistan

    Faunal and Environmental Change in the Late Miocene Siwaliks of Northern Pakistan

    Copyright ( 2002, The Paleontological Society Faunal and environmental change in the late Miocene Siwaliks of northern Pakistan John C. Barry, MicheÁle E. Morgan, Lawrence J. Flynn, David Pilbeam, Anna K. Behrensmeyer, S. Mahmood Raza, Imran A. Khan, Catherine Badgley, Jason Hicks, and Jay Kelley Abstract.ÐThe Siwalik formations of northern Pakistan consist of deposits of ancient rivers that existed throughout the early Miocene through the late Pliocene. The formations are highly fossil- iferous with a diverse array of terrestrial and freshwater vertebrates, which in combination with exceptional lateral exposure and good chronostratigraphic control allows a more detailed and tem- porally resolved study of the sediments and faunas than is typical in terrestrial deposits. Conse- quently the Siwaliks provide an opportunity to document temporal differences in species richness, turnover, and ecological structure in a terrestrial setting, and to investigate how such differences are related to changes in the ¯uvial system, vegetation, and climate. Here we focus on the interval between 10.7 and 5.7 Ma, a time of signi®cant local tectonic and global climatic change. It is also the interval with the best temporal calibration of Siwalik faunas and most comprehensive data on species occurrences. A methodological focus of this paper is on controlling sampling biases that confound biological and ecological signals. Such biases include uneven sampling through time, differential preservation of larger animals and more durable skeletal elements, errors in age-dating imposed by uncertainties in correlation and paleomagnetic timescale calibrations, and uneven tax- onomic treatment across groups. We attempt to control for them primarily by using a relative-abun- dance model to estimate limits for the ®rst and last appearances from the occurrence data.
  • Late Miocene Large Mammals from Yulafli, Thrace Region, Turkey, and Their Biogeographic Implications

    Late Miocene Large Mammals from Yulafli, Thrace Region, Turkey, and Their Biogeographic Implications

    Late Miocene large mammals from Yulafli, Thrace region, Turkey, and their biogeographic implications DENIS GERAADS, TANJU KAYA, and SERDAR MAYDA Geraads, D., Kaya, T., and Mayda, S. 2005. Late Miocene large mammals from Yulafli, Thrace region, Turkey, and their biogeographic implications. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 50 (3): 523–544. Collecting over the last twenty years in sand and gravel quarries near Yulafli in European Turkey has yielded a substantial fauna of large mammals. The most significant of these for biochronology are well−preserved remains of the ursid Indarctos arctoides, the suid Hippopotamodon antiquus, and several rhino genera. They point to a late Vallesian (MN 10−equivalent) age. Several other taxa, of longer chronological range, are in good agreement with this dating. The Proboscidea include, besides the Eastern Mediterranean Choerolophodon, the Deinotherium + Tetralophodon associa− tion, commonly found in Europe, and the rare “Mastodon” grandincisivus, here reported for the first time in the Vallesian. The age of Yulafli shows that the large size of some taxa, such as Deinotherium (size close to that of D. gigantissimum) and Dorcatherium, does not always track chronology. The Yulafli fauna is close in composition and ecology to other lo− calities in Turkish Thrace, and also shares several taxa unknown in Anatolia, especially Dorcatherium, with the North−Western European Province. It reflects a forested/humid landscape that extended in Vallesian times along the Aegean coast of Turkey, perhaps as far South as Crete, quite distinct from the open environments recorded at the same pe− riod in Greek Macedonia and Anatolia, and probably more like the central European one.

Flynn6 & Xueping Ji7,8 & Jiayong Cao9 & Xin Yang 10 Published online: 14 March 2018 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2018, corrected publication April/2018 Abstract Fossil suid specimens recovered from the latest Miocene site of Shuitangba, Zhaotong Basin, Yunnan Province, provide new information on the classification and relationship of Chinese Miocene Suinae. Most of the recovered specimens are referred to a relatively advanced and large species of Suinae, Propotamochoerus hyotherioides, based on dental dimensions and morphology. Detailed morphological comparisons were made between the Shuitangba Pr. hyotherioides and other Asian Miocene suines. From these comparisons, we suggest that Pr. hyotherioides from Shuitangba and northern China may be relatively derived compared to the specimens from Lufeng and Yuanmou, southern China and that Pr. hyotherioides and Pr. wui represent separate branches of the genus in China. Furthermore, Microstonyx differs from Pr. hyotherioides in p4/P4 and m3/M3 characters. Molarochoerus is suggested to represent a relatively derived taxon due to the uniquely molarized upper and lower fourth premolars. Miochoerus youngi is suggested to have a closer relationship to Sus and Microstonyx than to Propotamochoerus due to its small size and p4 morphology. Hippopotamodon ultimus, Potamochoerus chinhsienense, Dicoryphochoerus medius, and D. binxianensis exhibit complex morphologies that variously resemble Propotamochoerus, Microstonyx,andSus and are suggested to be possible transitional forms between Propotamochoerus, Microstonyx,andSus.
