“…The abundance of Majoreas in particular distinguishesÇorakyerler from most contemporaneous Greco-Iranian sites, which are often rich in Tragoportax, Prostrepsiceros, and Gazella. In this regard,Çorakyerler strongly resembles Kemiklitepe D (Bouvrain, 1994;Bibi and Savaş G€ uleç, 2008;Geraads, 2013;Kostopoulos and Karak€ ut€ uk, 2013). The giraffids Bohlinia cf.…”

Ouranopithecus turkae, from the late Miocene ofÇorakyerler in Central Anatolia, is considered one of the last known occurrences of great ape in the eastern Mediterranean. TheÇorakyerler fauna has previously been correlated with MN 11 to early MN 12 on the basis of biochronology, and its faunal composition has been found to contrast with those from contemporaneous sites. In this paper, we present the magnetostratigraphy of theÇorakyerler site and an expanded interpretation of its paleobiogeographical and paleoecological contexts. The paleomagnetic results reveal two intervals of normal polarity and an intervening interval of reversed polarity in the main fossiliferous section. Of the three likely age correlations spanning 8.13-7.15 Ma (MN 11-MN 12), we favor correlation with chron 4n, with a possible age range of the fossiliferous deposit between 8.11 and 7.64 Ma (late MN 11). The geographic distribution of genus-level faunal similarity and mean hypsodonty show thatÇorakyerler is a typical representative of the Pikermian chronofauna with a wide range of faunal similarity, including late Miocene localities from the eastern Mediterranean, eastern Asia, and eastern Africa. Lithological and sedimentological characteristics of the fossiliferous horizon, however, indicate a lacustrine depositional environment and relatively humid local conditions within the more arid regional context. This special setting could explain the unexpected occurrence of a hominid primate atÇorakyerler.

“…Although most herbivores prefer a diet with specific abrasive characteristics, most species have maintained considerable dietary flexibility and are able to survive on suboptimal diets if their preferred foodstuffs are not available in sufficient quantities. This has been observed in a range of fossils species, such as Neogene equids (Kaiser, 2003;Tütken et al, 2013) and bovids (Solounias and Hayek, 1993;Kostopoulos and Karakütük, 2015), and Pleistocene rhinocerotids (Van Asperen and Kahlke, 2015). Hypsodont artiodactyl genera such as Bison, in particular, to a degree are ecological generalists, able to survive on a wide range of diets (Feranec, 2007).…”

The large fossil vertebrates obtained from the alluvial flood-plain deposits of the Kolankaya Formation are determined as Skoufotragus laticeps (Andree, 1926) and Hipparion brachypus (Hensel, 1862), both representative elements of the palaeomammal faunas spanning from the eastern Mediterranean to Iranian domains during the late Miocene (early-middle Turolian, MN11-12). These first Turolian records from the basin fill succession provide important data on the palaeobiogeographic diversity of relevant taxons, as well as admit of the interbasinal stratigraphic correlation for the western Anatolian terrestrial Neogene basins.
