Excavations of two fossiliferous layers in the Wallenried sand- and marl pit produced a very diversified vertebrate fauna. New material allows the reassessment of the taxonomic position of the ruminant taxa Andegameryx andegaviensis and endemic Friburgomeryx wallenriedensis. An emended diagnosis for the second species is provided and additional material of large and small mammals, as well as...

The description of new material and the reassessment of specimens previously assigned to Gelocus quercyi lead us to propose a new genus for this species, Mosaicomeryx gen. nov. Moreover, the description of a juvenile skull and other specimens of Prodremotherium elongatum, and comparison with Dremotherium, provide evidence that these two genera are not closely related as previously thought. A...

The biostratigraphy and diversity patterns of terrestrial, hoofed mammals help to understand the transition between the Palaeogene and the Neogene in Western Europe. Three phases are highlighted: (1) the beginning of the Arvernian (Late Oligocene, MP25-27) was characterised by a “stable” faunal composition including the last occurrences of taxa inherited from the Grande Coupure and of newly...

De nos jours, les ruminants représentent le groupe de mammifères ongulés le plus diversifié. Les familles actuelles (en incluant les espèces relatives à partir du Burdigalien), ainsi que le régime alimentaire, peuvent être déduits de la forme de la mandibule. Les Tragulidae possèdent un petit processus coronoïde, un diastème entre les prémolaires et la canine inférieures court, et...

Since the first exploitation of the Huppersandstones quarry of Rickenbach (Canton Solothurn, Switzerland) in 1898, many fossils of plants, molluscs, and vertebrates have been discovered. 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...

The primitive ruminant genus Iberomeryx is poorly documented, as it is essentially only known from rare occurrences of dental remains. Therefore, the phylogeny and palaeobiology of Iberomeryx remain rather enigmatic. Only two species have been described: the type species I. parvus from the Benara locality in Georgia, and the Western European species I. minor reported from France, Spain, and...
