Large Mammals from the late Miocene of Çorakyerler, Çankırı, Turkey
Résumé
I provide here a brief account of the large mammal fauna from the hominid-bearing locality of Çorakyerler near Çankırı, Turkey. It is dominated by the rhino ?Acerorhinus, an Hipparion close to H. dietrichi or H. prostylum, and spiral-horned antelopes, mainly Majoreas and Oioceros rothi. Antelopes of the Pachytragus group, other spiral-horned forms, and gazelles, are remarkably rare. There is no doubt that Çorakyerler is a Turolian site, but its faunal assemblage is unlike that of the classical Greek sites.
