“…Recently, a few more fossil remains of G. superba were recovered from the Dhok Pathan Fm. (Khan et al, 2015). The teeth under study are different from other contemporaneous large bovids, such as Tragoportax punjabicus, Pachyportax latidens and Miotragocerus gluten, because of their weak stylid, rudimentary ectostylid and strong goat folds.…”

“…The paleosols include light ashcolored sandstone and orange-to-red claystone with horizons of conglomerates with small boulders that were deposited in a fluvial system (Draz et al, 2020b). This fluvial system made a complicated thick section of bogs, water bodies, forest and mounds of vegetation including herbs and shrubs (Khan et al, 2015). The length and width of the Dhok Pathan Fm.…”

A fossil-bearing locality near Padhri village, Dhok Pathan, 55 km away from the tehsil Dina, Jhelum District, in the Potwar Plateau, Middle Siwaliks, Punjab, northern Pakistan, is significantly rich in mammalian fossils. This site has provided an abundant mammalian fossil fauna of Late Miocene age from the Dhok Pathan Formation (Fm.). The recovered material belongs to four families: Equidae (horses), Rhinocerotidae (rhinos), Bovidae (cows), and Suidae (pigs). We discovered a new skull of hipparionine Hipparion theobaldi from this locality along with 22 specimens from the associated assemblage of fossil mammals. The recovered material includes seven other species: the aceratheriine Chilotherium intermedium, boselaphines Tragoportax punjabicus, Selenoportax vexillarius, Pachyportax latidens, the antelope Gazella lydekkeri and suinine Propotamochoerus hysudricus. The specimens are isolated teeth, fragments of maxilla, mandibles and horn cores. The Dhok Pathan Fm. is generally composed of claystone, siltstone and sandstone beds and, based on the mammalian fauna, the Padhri fossil locality is dated as Late Miocene. Thi99s formation was deposited in a subtropical paleoenvironment and the predominance of fossil bovids indicates extremely moist conditions with small but frequent standing water bodies.
