Özet |
Microstonyx major refers to the Suid remains retrieved from two different localities that date back to the Late Miocene period, Derindere Member of the Incesu Formation in the Hayranlı-Haliminhanı area (Sivas, Turkey). These localities have the potential of yielding hominoid fossils. Microstonyx teeth display some changes in incisor morphology, which are interpreted as a further adaptation to rooting. These changes occurred during a short period of time most probably between 8.7 and 8.121 Ma ago and it could be related to environmental change. It seems that the partially open shrubland and savannah grasslands during the early or/and the Middle Turolian period (MN 11-12) has created a rich faunal diversity exaggeration in the Hayranli-Haliminhani area. These findings are discussed within the regional context and how it contributes to our knowledge of fossil mammals in Anatolia. |
