Panafrican distribution of Lower Miocene Hominoidea

Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences - Series IIA - Earth and Planetary Science, 1997
Palaeontological survey of the Neogene littoral deposits of the Namaqualand coastal strip, Northern Cape Province, South Africa, has resulted in the collection of the first Lower Miocene faunas from South Africa. Among the mammals from Ryskop and Hondeklip Bay is a gorilla-sized hominoid.

Ctenodactylids from the Lower and Middle Miocene of Saudi Arabia

Palaeontology, 2004
The ctenodactylids from the Lower and Middle Miocene of Saudi Arabia are represented by two species: Sayimys intermedius (Sen and Thomas, 1979) and Sayimys assarrarensis sp. nov. This new taxon differs from the other species of Sayimys by its larger size together with an association of characters such as the presence of a metalophulid II in d4 and the ...

A Lower Molar of a Primitive, Large Hippopotamus from the Lower Miocene of Kenya

Paleontological Research, 2015
Abstract. A trigonid of a lower molar of a primitive, large hippopotamus from the upper lower Miocene of Mfwangano Island in southwestern Kenya is described. The molar trigonid is similar in size to that of living hippopotamuses, and is comparable in morphology to that of kenyapotamine hippopotamids (Mammalia, Cetartiodactyla) in having a brachyodont ...

Lower Miocene Invertebrates from Kenya

Nature, 1952
RECENTLY, while continuing the search for additional Lower Miocene fossil fruits and seeds in the deposits on Rusinga and M'fwangano Islands in Lake Victoria, in order to obtain more data concerning the environmental conditions under which the Miocene ape Proconsul lived, we have found some remarkable fossils of insects and other soft-bodied ...

Sexual dimorphism in a Lower Miocene moronid?

Paläontologische Zeitschrift, 1996
A series of questionable elements in certain specimens ofMorone cf.aequalis (Koken 1891) from Lower Miocene deposits near the village of Berkersheim, N of Frankfurt a. M. (Hessen, Germany) is described, which has not been known from any other percoid before. These elements are fully ossified and cover the cheek and the preopercular region.

Lower Miocene sediments of central and western Ciscaucasia

Lithology and Mineral Resources, 2006
The composition, structure, and geochemical properties of the thickest, relatively deep-water Lower Miocene sediments developed in western Ciscaucasia are considered. Of particular interest are materials from the Kuban superdeep borehole SG-12000 that recovered the uppermost layers of the Maikop Group at 3148–3961 m in the central Indol-Kuban Trough ...

Lower Miocene spongolitic facies in Ionian Islands (Greece) and their significance

Géologie Méditerranéenne, 1987
The Authors report spongolitic faciès of the Lower Miocene identified at kefaliinia and Ithaki and discuss the significance of these facies as well as of a diatomaceous épisode of the same age found at Zakynthos. The spongolitic or diatomaceous facies are referred to the volcanism which extended over the entire Mediterranean basin in the Lower Miocene ...

Two New Fossil Primates from the Lower Miocene of Kenya

Nature, 1970
Relationships of Miocene Hominoidea are re-evaluated in the light of two new fossil pongids from the early Miocene of Rusinga and Songhor, one an undetermined species of Proconsul possibly ancestral to orang-utans and the other an undetermined species of Aegyptopithecus.
