摘要: 描述了产自内蒙古晚始新世地层中的3属5种仓鼠化石(Pappocricetodon antiqus, Pappocricetodon sp., Pappocricetodon? sp., Eocricetodon borealis sp. nov. 和Oxynocricetodon erenensis sp. nov.), 建立了Eocricetodon和Oxynocricetodon两个新属。Eocricetodon属的特点是:齿尖较钝,横脊较细;M1前叶中等大小,前边尖单一,原尖前臂伸达前边尖,原脊与原尖后臂连,后脊与次尖连;m1三角座特别短而窄等。Eocricetodon borealis的特点是:M1前叶相对更细窄,具明显的原小尖。m1下原尖和下后尖位置彼此相对,m1和m2的下次脊与下次尖连等。Oxynocricetodon属的主要特征为:颊齿具相对较细锐的主尖和较细长的横脊;上臼齿原脊和后脊均为前连;M1前叶较大;前边尖孤立;原尖前臂不伸达前边尖等。Oxynocricetodon erenensis的特征主要是:M1前边尖为较大的新月形;无中脊和中附尖;M1和M2无原尖后臂;M3较少退化等。对早期仓鼠的演化趋势作了归纳和补充。讨论了产仓鼠化石地点的地层的时代,认为额尔登敖包的乌兰戈楚组的“下白层”的时代较二连浩特的呼尔井组的稍早,为晚始新世的较早期,而呼尔井组的时代为晚始新世的较晚期。

Abstract: Among the micromammal fossils collected from the Upper Eocene of Nei Mongol by the teams of IVPP in 1980-1990's(Wang,2001,2007) there were some specimens of cricetids. They represent the first cricetids ever found in Late Eocene of Nei Mongol. The discovery not only has expanded the distribution of these cricetids in Asia, added new genera and species of the cricetids to the local faunas, but also plays an important role in determining the ages of the fossiliferous beds in these localities. The cricetids are described below.
