The study of the small mammals brought this locality to international recognition as the type locality for the European mammalian reference level MP29 (latest Oligocene). Our study reviews the terrestrial herbivorous mammals of Rickenbach and aims to reconstruct the palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic conditions in which they lived. The perissodactyls and cetartiodactyls are described and identified: Protapirus sp. (Tapiridae), Ronzotherium romani and Diaceratherium lamilloquense (Rhinocerotidae), Anthracotherium magnum and Microbunodon minimum (Anthracotheriidae), Palaeochoerus pusillus (Suoidea), and Dremotherium guthi, “Amphitragulus” quercyi, “Amphitragulus” feningrei, and Babameryx engesseri gen. et sp. nov. (Ruminantia). Based on the updated faunal list, a cenogram of the locality of Rickenbach is established. We also performed ecomorphologic analyses on ruminants and rhinocerotids. The reconstructed palaeoenvironment of Rickenbach probably corresponded to a savannah woodland affected by a subtropical climate with clear seasonality. 000029118 695__ $$9eng$$aPerissodactyla ; Cetartiodactyla ; Babameryx engesseri gen. et sp. nov. ; Cenogram ; Ecomorphology ; Chattian 000029118 700__ $$aScherler, Laureline$$uSection d’archéologie et paléontologie, République et Canton du Jura, Porrentruy, Switzerland 000029118 700__ $$aHiard, Florent$$uDepartment of Geosciences, Institute of Geology, University of Fribourg, Switzerland 000029118 700__ $$aBecker, Damien$$uSection d’archéologie et paléontologie, République et Canton du Jura, Porrentruy, Switzerland 000029118 700__ $$aBerger, Jean-Pierre$$uDepartment of Geosciences, Institute of Geology, University of Fribourg, Switzerland 000029118 773__ $$g2012/131/1/161-181$$tSwiss Journal of Palaeontology 000029118 775__ $$gPublished version$$ohttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s13358-011-0031-6 000029118 8564_ $$fber_lmr.pdf$$qapplication/pdf$$s2728468$$uhttps://doc.rero.ch/record/29118/files/ber_lmr.pdf$$yorder:1$$zpdf 000029118 918__ $$aFaculté des sciences$$bDécanat, Ch. du Musée 6A, 1700 Fribourg$$cGéosciences 000029118 919__ $$aUniversité de Fribourg$$bFribourg$$ddoc.support@rero.ch 000029118 980__ $$aPOSTPRINT$$bUNIFR$$fART_JOURNAL 000029118 990__ $$a20120509084826-AG
