A Bramatherium Skull (Giraffidae, Mammalia) From The Late Miocene Of Kavakdere (Central Turkey). Biogeographic And Phylogenetic Implications, Deniş Geraads, Erksin Güleç

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

A sub-adult skull from the Late Miocene of Kavakdere, desciribed and referred to the Indian genus Bramatherium. increases the similarity between the Indian sub-continent and the Greco-Iranian province. The contents and subdivisions of the subfamily Sivatheriinae are reviewed, with 2 main groups being recognized, based upon the homologies and position of horns. They are perhaps both of western European origin.
