“…The small marsupial Amphiperatherium is quite common in contemporary faunas from southern Germany (Ziegler and Fahlbusch 1986;Klietmann et al 2014a). Marsupials have also been found in faunas from the CalatayudMontalbán Basin (L. van den Hoek Ostende, personal observation), but unfortunately, the material was lost.…”

The rich early Miocene small mammal assemblage from Montalvos2, collected from lacustrine deposits directly overlying the basement, is unique within the Teruel Basin, a basin that is otherwise well known for its late Miocene/ Pliocene mammal faunas. The presence of Democricetodon decipiens, Megacricetodon primitivus, Eumyarion and Ligerimys ellipticus enables correlation with the local biozone Ca (approx. 16.3 Ma, MN4). The high percentage of ochotonids in Montalvos2 is remarkable, a phenomenon that is known to occur in older assemblages from the adjacent Calatayud-Montalbán Basin. The association in Montalvos2 includes species indicative of an arid biotope, such as the ochotonid Lagopsis penai and the rodents Simplomys simplicidens, Armantomys aragonensis, Melissiodon dominans and the xerine squirrel Heteroxerus, and species that are supposed to have lived in a more humid forested biotope, such as the Talpidae and the flying squirrel Albanensia. This wide range of species indicates that the environment in the Teruel Basin was highly diverse during the early Miocene.

“…The latest research reported on only one piece of P4 and an M1 with a broken outer edge (Figs. 2.3-2.4) (Klietmann et al, 2014). After our comparison, we discovered that the hypocone in P4 of Oligoechinus was located behind the protocone and was close to the tongue side and that a weak crista connected the protocone and hypocone.…”

A New Fossil Erinaceidae from the Shajingyi Area in the Lanzhou Basin, China

Here, we describe a new primitive Erinaceidae species, Oligoechinus lanzhouensis n. gen. n. sp., based on a specimen from late Oligocene strata of the Lanzhou Basin, Gansu Province. Its characteristics are as follows: the M1 width is longer than the length, the metastyle extends far disto‐labially, the posterior margin has strong curve and a distinct metaconule that is connected to the protocone by a postprotocrista is located in the centre of the tooth. The posterior arm of the metaconule is poorly developed. In the P4, the pterion of the metastyle is less developed and the metacone is carinate. In addition, O. lanzhouensis has a premolar larger than the canine tooth (P2 > C) and P3 had no molarisation, characters also possessed by Erinaceus. Overall, O. lanzhouensis was similar to Mioechinus based on architectural tooth features, demonstrating a closed genetic relationship. Fossil Erinaceidae are relatively rare before the Miocene. The discovery of O. lanzhouensis provides an important insight into the origin of Mioechinus in China and the early evolution of the Erinaceidae. Our analysis shows that a relatively recent ancestor of Mioechinus had probably existed in the early Oligocene and that O. Lanzhouensis was likely an ancestral type of Mioechinus gobiensis, and its systematic position should be located at a transitional position between Amphechinus and Mioechinus.

ABSTRACT-The insectivore and marsupial assemblage from the Banovi ci Basin (MP30/MN1, Bosnia and Herzegovina) provides, in addition to the Rodentia, a better understanding of the faunal exchange between Europe and Anatolia and the biostratigraphic, paleoecological, and paleobiogeographic interpretations of the area. The small and rather poorly preserved collection of fossil remains of insectivores and marsupials from Banovi ci includes three genera of Talpidae, three genera of Soricidae, one genus of Erinaceidae, one genus of Heterosoricidae, and one marsupial. At the genus level, this assemblage is a mix of genera known from the late Oligocene-early Miocene of Europe (MP29-MN3) and Anatolia (»MP30-MN3). The presence of the talpids Suleimania aff. ruemkae and Desmanodon aff. ziegleri indicates an age within the Oligocene/Miocene boundary interval (MP30/MN1), which is consonant with the age estimate based on the rodents and magnetostratigraphy. The diversity of Soricidae and the presence of Geotrypus indicate that the Banovi ci biotope was rather warm and humid during the late Oligocene.
