Palaeontological and biostratigraphical study of the neogene proboscidea from Greece

Abstract

In the present thesis the Late Miocene proboscideans of Greece are studied. The material includes specimens from the fossiliferous localities of Axios Valley (Thessaloniki), Pikermi and Chomateri (Attica), Samos Island (Central-Eastern Aegean) and Nikiti (Chalkidiki). The Late Miocene proboscideans include deinotheriids, mammutids, choerolophodons and tetralophodont gomphotheres. Deinotheriids belong to the species Deinotherium giganteum and Deinotherium gigantissimum. Deinotherium gigantissimum is described for the first time from Greece. The mammutids are attributed to "Mammut" sp. The study of choerolophodons from Axios Valley allowed the recognition of the evolutionary stages of Choerolophodon from the Late Miocene of the peri-Mediterranean region. The genus is represented by two species; the older and more primitive C. anatolicus and the younger and more advanced C. pentelici. Choerolophodon anatolicus is described for the first time from Greece. Furthermore, the relationships amo ...
