Aug 28, 2020 · An M3 of a small bothriodont Elomeryx sp., from the lower part of the Halamagai Formation, which is probably of the early middle Miocene age, is the only anthracothere record from the Neogene of northern China.

On some anthracotheriid (Artiodactyla, Mammalia) remains from …
May 20, 2012 · A few isolated mammal teeth from some Greek coal samples of unknown origin represent a small bothriodontine anthracotheriid, ascribed to Elomeryx. Analysis of the coalification stage of the fossil-bearing coal samples indicates the Lower Miocene Moschopotamos coal pits (Katerini Basin) as the most probable site of origin.
The occurrence of bothriodontines (Artiodactyla, Mammalia) …
Oct 1, 2006 · Several fossil remains attributed to the genera Bothriodon, Brachyodus and Hyoboops can be referred to Elomeryx which extends the geographical distribution of the genus to the whole area of Asia. These results demonstrate the role that Asia played in the biogeographical history of mammals and further support the proposed origin of North ...

Relationships of Cetacea (Artiodactyla) Among Mammals: …
Sep 23, 2009 · The study of phylogenetic data that fossilizes (primarily skeletal and dental morphology) has been particularly important because it is by studying extinct species that we can reconstruct the order of character acquisition that led to the origin of Cetacea (see review of studies in [1], [2]).
First complete skulls of Elomeryx crispus (Gervais, 1849) and of ...
Mar 12, 2009 · A new fossiliferous locality is reported from southwestern France (Moissac III) that yielded two skulls referred to the anthracotheriid Elomeryx crispus and the rhinocerotid Protaceratherium ...
