St. Petersburg / Russia II www.imcofe.org XI. IMCOFE | 2020 ISBN: 978-605-68882-9-8 FOREWORD XI. International Multidisciplinary Congress of Eurasia (IMCOFE) was held by "Young Scholars Union" at St. Petersburg / RUSSIA from 7 to 9 July 2020. IMCOFE is aimed to come together with scientific studies scholars working in different disciplines, to exchange knowledge and experiences and thus to prepare the ground for multidisciplinary studies. A total of 59 papers were submitted. 61 participants from 6 countries in total have attended the congress. 31 participants from Turkey, 19 participants from Kosovo, 7 participants from Azerbaijan, 5 participants from Italy, 2 participants from Georgia and 1 participant from United States. XI. IMCOFE was organized this year with the main theme of ―migration, climate change and ecology‖. We are proud to successfully complete this congress. This book contains the full text and abstract texts of the papers presented at the congress. The fact that a significant portion of the participants are university undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students is important in terms of realizing the mission of our union. Our mission will increasingly continue with the workshops, congresses and conferences to be held next year. In 2020, when many congresses were postponed and canceled due to the pandemic, we held our congress without any problems, postponement or cancellation. This has been accomplished with the great effort of our members who take part in our union and organizing board. In the light of all these, I would like to thank our participants, the scientific and organizing board, our audience, our sponsors and our solution partners.

Graham EMS Museum Director and Professor of the Geosciences Thesis Advisor Mark Patzkowsky Professor of the Geosciences Eric Post Director of the Polar Center and Professor of Biology Timothy Ryan Associate Professor of Anthropology and Information Sciences and Technology Michael Arthur Professor of the Geosciences Interim Associate Head for Graduate Programs and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Two Late Pleistocene species of Mammuthus, M. columbi and M. primigenius, prove difficult to identify on the basis of their third molar (M3) morphology alone due to the effects of dental wear. A newly-erupted, relatively unworn M3 exhibits drastically different characters than that tooth would after a lifetime of wear. On a highly-worn molar, the lophs that comprise the occlusal surface are more broadly spaced and the enamel ridges thicken in comparison to these respective characters on an unworn molar. Since Mammuthus taxonomy depends on the lamellar frequency (# of lophs/decimeter of occlusal surface) and enamel thickness of the third molar, given the effects of wear it becomes apparent that these taxonomic characters are variable throughout the tooth’s life. Therefore, employing static taxonomic identifications that are based on dynamic attributes is a fundamentally flawed practice.

At least six species of extinct mammalian megaherbivores are known from Pacheco 1. The probable occurrence of Megalonyx jeffersonii suggests a late Pleistocene age for the assemblage. Pacheco 2 has yielded a minimum of 20 species of mammals, and provides the first unambiguous Quaternary fossil record ofUrocyon , Procyon, Antrozous, Eptesicus, Lasiurus, Sorex ornatus, Tamias, and Microtus longicaudus from the San Francisco Bay region. While a radiocarbon date of 405 ± 45 RCYBP has been obtained for a single bone sample from Pacheco 2, the possibility that much of the assemblage is considerably older than this date is suggested by (1) the substantial loss of collagen in all other samples for which radiocarbon dating was unsuccessfully attempted and (2) the occurrence of Microtus longicaudus approximately 160 km to the west of, and 600 m lower in elevation than, its present range limit.

Hohman2,3 1 Western Science Center, Hemet, CA, United States of America 2 Museum of the Rockies, Montana State University, Bozeman, MT, United States of America 3 Department of Earth Sciences, Montana State University, Bozeman, MT, United States of America ABSTRACT Mammut pacificus is a recently described species of mastodon from the Pleistocene of California and Idaho. We report the easternmost occurrence of this taxon based upon the palate with right and left M3 of an adult male from the Irvingtonian of eastern Montana. The undamaged right M3 exhibits the extreme narrowness that characterizes M. pacificus rather than M. americanum. The Montana specimen dates to an interglacial interval between pre-Illinoian and Illinoian glaciation, perhaps indicating that M. pacificus was extirpated in the region due to habitat shifts associated with glacial encroachment.

Twenty-three specimens from 15 localities in Mexico have been recorded, most of them from the Central Plateau, up to an altitude of 1500 meters above sea level, and to the east of the country. In addition, the mammoth Mammuthus and the American mastodon are contemporaneous in three localities, and mastodon possible association with man in two localities. Their southernmost record is from Honduras. Our data indicate that the American mastodon is a rare taxon at the southern portion of its distribution, which could be related to the presence and possible feeding overlap with the gomphothere Cuvieronius. 1.

The Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History resumed excavation at this site in 1969. Retrieval of the “microfossils” from the asphaltic matrix has yielded a wealth of insect, mollusk, and plant remains, more than doubling the number of species recovered by earlier excavations. Today, the current excavation site is 900 square feet in extent, yielding fossils that range in age from about 15,000 to about 42,000 radiocarbon years.

The remains were recovered mostly from ca. 170–260 cm below the current land surface in marl overlain by peat and peaty marl. The stratigraphy of the site indicates that the remains were deposited in a small, open-water pond that subsequently filled. The skeleton, which is 41–48% complete, is that of a mature female, ca.

We have attempted to interpret the biogeographical history of trilophodont gomphotheres in the context of the geological evolution of the continents they inhabited during the Cenozoic. To reconstruct this biogeographic history we used DIVA 1.1. This application resulted in an exact solution requiring three vicariant events, and 15 dispersal events, most of them (i.e., 14) occurring at terminal taxa. The single dispersal event at an internal node affected the common ancestor to Sinomastodon plus the clade Cuvieronius – Stegomastodon. A vicariant event took place which resulted in two isolated groups: (1) Amebelodontinae (Africa – Europe – Asia) and (2) Gomphotheriinae (North America). The Amebelodontinae clade was split by a second vicariant event into Archaeobelodon (Africa and Europe), and the ancestors of the remaining genera of the clade (Asia). In contrast, the Gomphotheriinae clade evolved mainly in North America.
  • Backgrounder

    Backgrounder

    BACKGROUNDER Mammoths: Giants of the Ice Age Exhibition Walk Through Mammoths: Giants of the Ice Age will transport people back to a time great beasts dominated the world and ancient peoples struggled to survive in a rapidly changing environment. During the Ice Age, mammoths would have existed right here in British Columbia. The Royal BC Museum’s refreshed Natural History gallery, opening at the same time as the feature exhibition, will help tell this story, linking the rise and decline of mammoths around the world to mammoths here in BC. The exhibition gives visitors unique opportunities to: Discover Mammoth and Mastodon Origins and Evolutionary Adaptations The family tree of elephants, mammoths, and mastodons can be traced back 55 million years when the proboscidean (pronounced pro-bo-SID-e-an) order originated in Africa. Trunks and tusks are the hallmark of proboscideans. In the first section of the exhibition, visitors encounter a full-size model of Moeritherium (Mer-i-THER-ee-um), an ancient cousin of mammoths, mastodons and elephants, displayed as it might have looked grazing in a North African wetland some 35 million years ago. Surprisingly, Moeritherium did not resemble its later cousins – it was somewhat larger than a modern- day tapir, but with short legs, a relatively long body, and a short tail. This introductory section also features a proboscidean family tree with touchable scale models of family members, including a woolly mammoth, a Columbian mammoth, and an American mastodon. The family tree illustrates how mastodons split off, forming the Mammutidae family – now extinct – while mammoths and elephants are part of the Elephantidae family.

MARKOV GAREVSKI R., GAREVSKA B., MARKOV G.N. 2012. Remains of Zygolophodon turicensis (Proboscidea, Mammutidae) from the coal mines near Bitola, Republic of Macedonia. – Historia naturalis bulgarica, 20: 157-162. Abstract. We report Zygolophodon turicensis (Schinz, 1824) from the Miocene deposits in a coal mine near Bitola, Republic of Macedonia, and refer a misidentified molar from Nerezi near Skopje published in the 1930s to the same species. Zygolophodon turicensis is a new taxon to the fossil fauna of Macedonia, and the finds discussed in the paper are among the few fossils of pre-Turolian age from the country. Key words: Proboscidea, Mammutidae, Zygolophodon, Miocene, Macedonia Introduction The specimens described below are an accidental find from the coal mines of the thermal power station near Bitola in the southwest of the Republic of Macedonia. Found in sandy deposits, the molars most probably belong to the same individual. Material and methods Material: Left and right m2-m3, coal mine near Bitola, stored at the Bitola Natural History Museum (BiNHM), coll. no. 13536. Methods: Dental nomenclature follows TASSY (1996).
