“…Similar migrations during the early Miocene, however, have not been documented for other vertebrate groups. Only the discovery of the genus Bavarioboa in the eastern Anatolia (Szyndlar and Hoşgör 2013) provided a strong evidence of biogeographic connection of the European and southwestern Asian ophidian faunas at the Oligocene/Miocene boundary.…”

In this paper, we describe ectothermic vertebrate assemblages from the Kargı 1, Kargı 2, Kargı 3, Harami1, Harami 3, Hancılı, Keseköy, Çandır and Bağiçi localities in Turkey. The ages of these localities range from the latest Oligocene to the middle Miocene. The preserved non-mammalian fauna of the studied localities includes fishes (Luciobarbus sp., Barbus sp., Luciobarbus vel Barbus sp., aff.

“…Based on this fossil record, Ophisaurus appeared in the Asiatic part of Turkey during the terminal Oligocene (and perhaps even slightly earlier). The Oligocene and Miocene rhinocerotoids and associated faunas from several Turkish localities (Antoine et al 2008;Sen et al 2011), including the snake Bavarioboa (Szyndlar and Hoşgör 2012), indicate that Anatolia had close terrestrial connections with both Asia and Europe during the late Oligocene and Early Miocene. Therefore, the anguine material described herein from the Asiatic part of Turkey brings additional evidence for links between the terrestrial faunas of Europe and southwestern Asia.…”

“…One of the crucial geographical areas, as for the eastward dispersal of Anguinae, is the region of modern day Turkey. However, except for the boine snake Bavarioboa from the Late Oligocene or possibly the Early Miocene of eastern Turkey (Szyndlar and Hoşgör 2012), no other squamates have been recorded from Oligocene and Miocene deposits in Turkey. As for Anguinae, jaws, vertebrae and osteoderms of Ophisaurus and Pseudopus have been documented only from the Pliocene and Pleistocene of Turkey (Rage and Sen 1976;Venczel and Sen 1994;Zwick and Schleich 1994).…”

First record of fossil anguines (Squamata; Anguidae) from the Oligocene and Miocene of Turkey

Fossil anguine lizard specimens from several Turkish localities are described in this paper. The material comes from ten different localities, spanning a large geographic area consisting of both parts of the European Turkey and Anatolia, and ranging in age from the Oligocene to the Late Miocene. In certain cases, the generic determination was possible and, accordingly, members of Ophisaurus and Anguis were identified and described in detail. The specimens of Anguis, found in different, Middle and Late Miocene localities from Anatolia, represent two of only a few fossil occurrences of this taxon. Moreover, the material reported herein represents the oldest occurrences of anguine lizards, not only from Turkey, but from southeastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean basin as a whole. These rare records provide important information about the dispersal routes of anguines from Europe to Asia and significantly enhance our understanding of their biogeography.

In addition, some herpetofaunal remains of the Miocene age are known from Bes Konak (also known as Beþkonak) and Alpagut-Dodurga localities, as well as from Mendikdere Formation in easternmost Turkey (Rückert-Ülkümen, 1980(Rückert-Ülkümen, , 2003Rückert-Ülkümen et al, 2002;Szyndlar and Hoþgör, 2012). A brief summary devoted to Miocene amphibians and the reptiles of Anatolia are reported by Claessens (1997).…”

The fauna of amphibians and reptiles (except turtles) from the early Miocene localities of the Kilçak section (Turkey) is described here. The herpetofaunal assemblage of the Kilçak localities is the best documented early Miocene herpetofauna in Anatolia. The following taxa are revealed: Salamandra sp., Latonia sp., Eopelobates sp., Crocodylia indet., Lacertidae indet. (morphotypes A and B), Ophisaurus sp., Anguinae indet., Eoanilius cf. oligocenicus, Bavarioboa sp., Falseryx sp., and Texasophis sp. Among them, Latonia represents the oldest published record of this frog in Anatolia. Its maxilla is sculptured, extending the occurrence of the Latonia lineage with ornamented maxillae to the earliest Miocene, and demonstrating the long coexistence of the Latonia lineages (with smooth and ornamented maxillae), for almost the entirety of the Late Cenozoic. The genera Eopelobates, Eoanilius, and Falseryx are described from Anatolia and Asia for the first time. The booid fauna, being poorly known from this time interval (i.e., the so called «Dark Period» of booid snakes), significantly adds to our knowledge of early Miocene snake assemblages. The snake material from Kilçak indicates a transition from «ancient» late Oligocene to «modern» early-middle Miocene fauna. The widely distributed European taxa recovered in Kilçak, indicate that Anatolia had close faunal links to Europe during the late Oligocene-early Miocene.
