“…The p1s of P. palaeochoerus from CCN20 are only slightly more elongate (BLI = 42-43%) than those previously reported from Grytsyv, Rudabánya, and Alsótelekes (44-52%, N = 6; Fortelius et al 2005;Iannucci and Begun 2022) and generally agree, with only a few minor differences, with the morphology described by these authors. The specimen tentatively assigned to the species by Van der Made et al (1999: pl.…”

“…In contrast, the CCN20 specimens do not display a distinct groove on the distal face but a poorly defined and shallow groove along the root and a more diffuse concavity delimited by two cristids on the distal aspect of the crown apex. The CCN20 c1fs (BLI = 64-79%) overlap in size and proportions with those previously reported from Wien III, Eppelsheim, Gau-Weinheim, and Alsótelekes (BLI = 62-94%; N = 5; Hellmund 1995;Pickford 2013a;Iannucci and Begun 2022). The same applies to the two c1fs from CCN20 assigned to Pa.…”

“…The p2s from CCN20 are slightly larger than average but show similar proportions (BLI = 41-51%) to the specimens previously reported from Grytsyv, Rudabánya, Gau-Weinheim, and Alsótelekes (BLI = 42-50%, N = 16; Fortelius et al 2005;Pickford 2013a;Iannucci and Begun 2022). Furthermore, as far as it can be judged from published descriptions and figures (Hünermann 1968: pl.…”

“…The p3s of P. palaeochoerus from CCN20 are larger than-but display similar proportions (BLI = 44-61%) to-the specimens previously reported from Grytsyv, Rudabánya, Gau-Weinheim, and a few other sites (BLI = 46-59%, N = 26; Hellmund 1995; Fortelius et al 2005;Pickford 2013a;Iannucci and Begun 2022). In terms of occlusal morphology, they fit well with previously figured and described specimens (Hünermann 1968: pl 2D), although some of the specimens from CCN20 have a more inflated or distolingually expanded contour than those from Grytsyv, which in contrast appear to have a more distinct distobuccal cingulid.…”

“…The specimens described by and Fortelius et al (2005) resemble all the CCN20 specimens in the mesially located protoconid and the distinct lingually tilted prestyle, and some (but not) all p2s from CCN20 in the elongate occlusal profile that is mildly constricted buccally and lingually and slightly expanded distolingually. Although the Grytsiv specimens do not enable to clearly evaluate the presence of a distinct distal cuspulid (probably due to wear), this feature can be ascertained in the Rudabánya sample, where two cuspulids could be discerned distally from the protoconid in slightly worn specimens (Fortelius et al 2005), as well as in the Alsótelekes mandible (Iannucci and Begun 2022: fig. 2D).…”

Earliest Vallesian suid remains from Creu de Conill 20 (Vallès-Penedès Basin, NE Iberian Peninsula)

Although the suid assemblages from the Miocene of the Vallès-Penedès Basin (NE Iberian Peninsula) are reasonably well known, taxonomic studies devoted to them have lagged behind during the last decades. We describe the unpublished suid dentognathic remains from the earliest Vallesian (MN9) of Creu de Conill 20 (CCN20; 11.18 Ma), which represents the First Appearance Datum of hipparionin equids in western Europe. The sample includes 118 specimens, mostly isolated teeth, and a few maxillary and mandibular fragments. More than three-quarters of the specimens are assigned to the suine Propotamochoerus palaeochoerus, which is characteristic of MN9, albeit the described remains are slightly larger than average for the species. The rest of the sample belongs to a large tetraconodontine that is assigned to Parachleuastochoerus valentini, recorded elsewhere from MN7+8 to MN9, except for two specimens attributed to the small suid cf. Albanohyus sp. Our results support a synchronous dispersal of Hippotherium and P. palaeochoerus into Western Europe at ~11.2 Ma, suggesting that the latter is a suitable biochronological marker of the Vallesian. In turn, the remains of Pa. valentini refine our knowledge on the dental morphology of this species and strengthen the view that this species (unlike Conohyus doati and Conohyus melendezi) is not a junior synonym of Conohyus simorrensis. The lack of Listriodon splendens and Versoporcus sp. from CCN20, together with the scarcity of Albanohyus, contrasts with their abundance in the roughly coeval site of Castell de Barberà, hinting at local paleoenvironmental differences.
