The mammal collection of Nikiti 1 (NKT) is relatively poor; it has been already described in a series of publications. During the last field trips in Nikiti (2004–2009), the unearthed material from NKT remained scarce; it is described herein, alongside a revision of the old collection. The newly described material includes some rhinocerotid remains assigned to “Diceros” neumayri and Dihoplus pikermiensis...
Hipparionines represent the greatest part of the Nikiti 2 (NIK) fossil mammal collection. The determination of the material suggests the presence of four distinct species, two small, a medium and a large sized form. The small-sized forms attributed to Hipparion macedonicum, well known in northern Greece, and to H. sithonis nov. species. The weak canine fossa and the retraction of the narial opening...
The study of the new and old collections of the Nikiti vertebrate localities included in this volume provides several new evidences for the taxonomy, composition, chronology and palaeoecology of these late Miocene mammal faunas. The faunal list of both primate bearing localities is enriched and improved by addition of new taxa and revision of older identifications; two new species are recognized in...
As one of the oldest known Eurasian fossil vertebrate localities, Samos late Miocene fauna attracted the interest of specialists by its richness and overall importance. Nevertheless, crucial taxonomical questions and chronological problems obscured its value. The detailed study of the local stratigraphy, the collection of new fossil material and its study, the revision of the old collections and the...
