Abstract
Themilk dentition of the three known small-sized European species ofHyaenodon (Hyaenodon rossignoli – Eocene,Hyaenodon filholi and H. exiguus – both Oligocene) is described in detail, especially DP3, DP4 and the dp3 and dp4. Interspecific differences in the morphology of these teeth are noted.Themorphology ofHyaenodon filholi is similar to that of Asian andNorth American species and thus suggests this species is an Asian immigrant. According to this study, Hyaenodon exiguus is more distantly related to North American and Asian species than H. filholi. The presence and evolution of a European lineage in the Oligocene is evidenced for the first time.
期刊介绍:
Palaeontographica Section A publishes peer reviewed results of studies on palaeozoology, paleoecology and biostratigraphy. Its large paper format provides sufficient space for large tables, illustrations, photographs and Palaeontographica’s renowned plates.
Published contributions span all areas of palaeozoology, i.e., systematic, phylogenetic and ecological aspects. Careful peer review ensures the high quality of the papers, covering localities all over the world. Many landmark papers in palaeozoology and biostratigraphy were published in Section A of Palaeontographica. This includes numerous lavishly illustrated monographs of certain groups of fossils and stratigraphic ranges. These monographs, are typical for Paleontographica papers, characterised by numerous highest quality plates and are printed on special high quality paper for excellent reproduction of picture plates.
