New data on the new micromammalian localities of Afoud (Aït Kandoula Basin, Morocco) at the Mio-Pliocene boundary: Biochronological, paleoecological and paleobiogeographic implications
Small mammal remains have been discovered in three new outcrops from the Afoud locality. This site is significant from a paleontological point of view because it has yielded fauna of European affinities (Castillomys, Occitanomys, Stephanomys, Eliomys, and Prolagus). The presence of two different species of Arvicanthis from the Afoud locality represents the oldest record in North Africa. The association of small mammals from the AF12-2 deposits provides an approximate view of the local environment and climate at the time of the formation of this locality. This faunal assemblage indicates a warm, temperate, semi-arid climate and an open vegetation cover of wooded savannah. Fossil assemblages documented in this paper expand our knowledge on the Late Miocene–Early Pliocene small mammal communities of the Aït Kandoula Basin. This study provides useful data for understanding the paleobiogeography of the Mediterranean region and faunal exchanges between North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula that took place before the Messinian Salinity Crisis.
期刊介绍:
Geobios publishes bimonthly in English original peer-reviewed articles of international interest in any area of paleontology, paleobiology, paleoecology, paleobiogeography, (bio)stratigraphy and biogeochemistry. All taxonomic groups are treated, including microfossils, invertebrates, plants, vertebrates and ichnofossils.
Geobios welcomes descriptive papers based on original material (e.g. large Systematic Paleontology works), as well as more analytically and/or methodologically oriented papers, provided they offer strong and significant biochronological/biostratigraphical, paleobiogeographical, paleobiological and/or phylogenetic new insights and perspectices. A high priority level is given to synchronic and/or diachronic studies based on multi- or inter-disciplinary approaches mixing various fields of Earth and Life Sciences. Works based on extant data are also considered, provided they offer significant insights into geological-time studies.
