Aubenas-les-Alpes, a forgotten Oligocene mammalian site in Provence (S-E France). Part I聽-聽Carnivora, Perissodactyla and Microflora
文摘
For the first time the Carnivora and the Perissodactyla from Aubenas-les-Alpes are studied. Five taxa are identified: two Carnivora, Nimravus intermedius and a medium-sized species of amphicyonid and three Perissodactyla Ronzotherium romani, Molassitherium albigense and Cadurcotherium cayluxi. The microflora shows a subtropical to Mediterranean climate with a marked dry season and indicates an age near the Rupelian-Chattian boundary for the site.
