South of the central High Atlas, continental Neogene sediments crop out in the following areas: in a palaeo-drainage system in the Anti-Atlas, in a southern foredeep of the central High Atlas (Ouarzazate basin), and in the intensively folded South Atlas Marginal Zone. The latter two are characterized at the base and the top of the Neogene by thick...
It is not size that distinguishes the genus Prosantorhinus Heissig, 1974 from Diaceratherium Dietrich, 1931, but the following characters: a concave dorsal skull profile with upslanting nasals and narrowing on the distal side of the last upper molar.
Using these characters, in addition to the type species Prosantorhinus germanicus (Wang, 1929), the...
Seven hitherto unpublished Dorcatherium
guntianum teeth from the Early Miocene of Germany are
described. Morphology and size of the teeth are documented
in detail and taxonomic affiliation is assessed based
on comparisons to type materials of European tragulids.
The fossils represent one of the earliest European Dorcatherium
records and the oldest...
Nouvelles données sur la diversité des eomyidés (Mammalia, Rodentia) de l'Oligocène inférieur d'Europe de l'Ouest. Du nouveau matériel provenant de l'Oligocène basai du sud de l'Allemagne, et également de la fin de l'Oligocène inférieur de France et d'Espagne a été étudié. En Allemagne, en plus de l'unique espèce déjà connue Eomys antiquus (Aymard,...
2010. — New data about the diversity of Early Oligocene eomyids (Mammalia, Rodentia) in Western Europe. Geodiversitas 32 (2): 221-254. ABSTRACT New material of eomyids from the very Early Oligocene of southern Germany and the late Early Oligocene of France and Spain has been studied. In Germany besides the previously known and unique Eomys antiquus...
The Early to Middle Miocene Fluviatile Untere Serie lithostratigraphic unit of the Upper Freshwater Molasse (UFM) in the North
Alpine Foreland Basin (NAFB) crops out in a 40 m long section at Untereichen-Altenstadt (central part of the NAFB). This section
yields a unique superposition of two vertebrate assemblages belonging to different biostratigr...
A detailed integrated stratigraphic study was carried out on middle Miocene fluvial successions of the Upper Freshwater Molasse
(OSM) from the North Alpine Foreland Basin, in eastern Bavaria, Germany. The biostratigraphic investigations yielded six new
localities thereby refining the OSM biostratigraphy for units C to E (sensu; Heissig, Actes du Co...
South of the central High Atlas, continental Neogene sediments crop out in the following areas: in a palaeo-drainage system in the Anti-Atlas, in a southern foredeep of the central High Atlas (Ouarzazate basin), and in the intensively folded South Atlas Marginal Zone. The latter two are characterized at the base and the top of the Neogene by thick...
In the South German Molasse Basin Tertiary rocks, which are mostly of sedimentary origin, range from the Upper Eocene to the Upper Miocene in age. The Molasse sediments can be divided in six lithostratigraphic groups according to their palaeoenvironment: Lower Marine Molasse, Lower Brackish Molasse, Lower Freshwater Molasse, Upper Marine Molasse, U...
A single, upper premolar tooth of a seal from the Miste mollusc bed (Miocene, middle Langhian: The Netherlands) is determined as an upper P 3 of Miophoca cf. vetusta Zapfe. Fossils of this species and genus have to date only been reported from the Late Badenian (uppermost Langhian) of the Central Paratethys, at "Neudorf-Sandberg" (Devínská Nová Ves...
In the South German Molasse Basin, we investigated one fossiliferous site from the Upper Brackish Molasse (Illerkirchberg, no. 18), and three fossiliferous sites from the Upper Freshwater Molasse (Bodman, Attenfeld, Adelschlag). We carried out a new integrative approach using both the biostratigraphy and the autecology of different fossil taxa (mam...
From the upper Miocene to lower Pliocene profile Develiköy near Manisa (Urla Formation, Western Turkey), we present the fossil assemblages and their stratigraphic succession. The fish fauna, which consists of otoliths (sagittae, lapilli), teeth and other osteological remains, is studied and figured in detail. Five fish taxa are present: Aphanius ka...
The Ries and Steinheim Impact about 15 Ma ago had no palaeontologically verifiable effect on the composition of the fauna and the flora in Southern Germany. The destruction was only of local importance. The ecosystem was quickly, about 100 years later, reconstituted by the same rich subtropical vegetation and vertebrates. The fluviatile ecosystem o...
New Rhinocerotidae remains from the Upper Miocene in Yulafli (Çorlu-Thrace/Turkey) include Aceratherium incisivumKaup, 1832, Acerorhinus zernowi (Borissiak, 1914) and Dihoplus schleiermacheriKaup, 1832). A. incisivum and D. schleiermacheri are first documented in Turkey. A. zernowi is already known in Turkey but is first described from Yulafli. Thi...

Der Merkmalsbestand deü fünf rezenten Rhinocerotidenarten erlaubt keine klare Beurteilung der Stellung der drei asiatischen
Arten untereinander, Nimmt man die pleistozänen Gattungen dazu, so kompliziert sich das Bild weiter. Erst die Verfolgung der
Fossilgeschichte all dieser Formen läßit einige Merkmale als Konvergenzen erkennen, doch basiert das...
Rhinocerotidae and Chalicotheriidae are rare elements among the large mammal remains of Atzelsdorf. Both rhino species Aceratherium incisivum KauP, 1832, and Brachypotherium goldfussi (KauP, 1834) are members of old lineages persisting from the Middle Miocene. There are only a few specimens of each spe cies, but determinable with certainty. The eq...
