| Comments: Two new mammalian localities (KAL and KLT) of Kalamotó in Mygdonia basin have yielded several remains of carnivores - hyaenids and canids, equids, rhinocerotids, elephants, hippopotamids, 3-sized cervids, 2 bovids, and as well as micromammals. These are preliminarily attributed to: Pachycrocuta brevirostris (AYMARD, 1846), Canis sp., Equus stenonis COCCHI, Dicerorhinus etruscus (FALCONER, 1859), Mammuthus (Archidiskodon) meridionalis (NESTI, 1825), Hippopotamus amphibius antiquus DESMAREST, 1822 (= H. major CUVIER, 1824), Praemegaceros pliotarandoides (DE ALESSANDRI, 1903), Cervus sp., Dama sp., Bison (Eobison) sp., cf. Leptobos etruscus (FALCONER, 1859) and Mimomys savini HINTON, 1910. The best-preserved and most representative specimens are presented, as extensional excavations in this area are still in progress, since 2000. The age of this fauna is calculated to be of the Latest Villafranchian (MNQ 20). The paleonvironment is also discussed. | |
