First record of late middle Miocene Moschidae from Turkey: Micromeryx and Hispanomeryx from Catakbagyaka (Mugla, SW Turkey)

Here, we describe remains of Micromeryx sp. and Hispanomeryx sp. from the middle Miocene locality Catakbagyaka (MN 7/8). This is the first record for Miocene Moschidae for the late middle Miocene in Turkey and verifies the importance of Turkey as a corridor for the dispersal of Eurasian mammals. Furthermore, the record from Catakbagyaka confirms that the sympatric co-occurrence of two Miocene moschid taxa in one locality appears to be a common phenomenon. (C) 2017 Academie des sciences.
