Systematic revision of Ctenodactylidae (Mammalia, Rodentia) from theMiocene of Pakistan.J.A.

Systematic revision of Ctenodactylidae (Mammalia, Rodentia) from theMiocene of Pakistan. Palaeovertebrata 25 (1): 1-49. AbstractExtensive sampling of the Siwalik deposits of the Potwar Plateau of northem Pakistan and from the Zinda Pir dome of central Pakistan has produced a fossil record of Miocene ctenodactylids that can be correlated with the paleomagnetic time scale. The early Miocene Prosayimys flynni (n. gen., n. sp.) is recognized as the first ctenodactylid in the Indian subcontinent. Prosayimys is ancestral to Sayimys. From the late early Miocene to the early late Miocene, there is an anagenetic succession of three species of Sayimys: S. cf. S. intermedius, S. sivalensis, and S. chinjiensis (n. sp.). Sayimys chinjiensis gave rise to the late late Miocene S. perplexus. A second lineage is represented by Sayimys minor, S. sp. A, and S. sp. B. Published in Vol. 25, Fasc. 1 (1996) |
