The present study aims to assess the environmental conditions that prevailed during the late Miocene in the vicinity of Nikiti 2, Chalkidiki Peninsula (northern Greece). Here, a Dental Microwear Texture Analysis of three species of equids (20 specimens) and six species of bovids (76 specimens) is combined with analysis of the phytolith content of sediments from Nikiti 2. The latter analysis provided...
Here we report on a new fossil locality, Şerefköy-2, from the Yatağan Basin of southwestern Turkey that preserves a well-sampled, abundant, and diverse mammal fauna. Indeed, after three field seasons, more than 1200 catalogued specimens representing 26 mammal species belonging to 14 genera make the Şerefköy-2 mammalian assemblage one of the richest Late Miocene fauna from Anatolia. Five hipparionines,...
Here we compare dental microwear textures from specimens of the fossil genus Mesopithecus (Cercopithecidae, Colobinae) from the late Miocene of Eastern Europe with dental microwear textures from four extant primate species with known dietary differences. Results indicate that the dental microwear textures of Mesopithecus differ from those of extant leaf eaters Alouatta palliata and Trachypithecus...
