Stratigraphy
| Stratigraphy comments: "Both the scarce field data and the study of the collection leave no doubt as to the contemporaneity of the faunas from Ma1 and Ma2, which can thus be regarded as a single one ... Ma3 looks contemporaneous with the other spots, although it is safer to discuss it separately." |
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | not reported |
| Environment: | terrestrial indet. |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection excludes: | all macrofossils |
| Collection methods: | survey of museum collection |
| Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis |
| Collection method comments: The locality of Mahmutgazi in Western Turkey was excavated by Sickenberg and colleagues in the 1970s. | |
| Taxonomic list comments:"...although preliminary results were provided (Sickenberg et al. 1975), most of the fauna of large mammals remains unpublished. Exceptions are the Carnivora (Schmidt-kittler 1976), the Proboscidea (Gaziry 1976), part of the Bovidae (Köhler 1987), and the Suidae (Pickford 2016). During a visit to the Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde in Karlsruhe (SMNK) in December 2016, I studied the whole collection of large ungulates stored there, except the suids." | |
