安徽贵池晚古新世哺乳类

黄学诗, 陈烈祖   

Abstract: In the western part of Tongling Basin, on the southern bank of the Yangtze River, lies the Meigeng area of Guichi County, Anhui Province. Here is exposed a series of red strata from which local geologists recovered mammalian fossils in the 1980s. Two species of Pantodonta, including a new one, and one species of Notoungulata are currently recognized in the Guichi Fauna. Discussion of the fossil —bearing beds is also presented herein.

摘要: 记述了在安徽省贵池县梅埂地区红层中发现的3种哺乳动物化石,其中包括钝脚目全棱齿兽科1新属新种—翟氏贵池脊齿兽(Guichilambda zhaii gen. et sp. nov.)。新属与古脊齿兽属较为相似,但在个体大、上颊齿横宽、上臼齿中附尖弱、下颌骨具前外凸缘、下臼齿三角座和跟座V形夹角小等方面又明显不同于该属任何已知种。文中还根据所发现化石的进化水平和组合性质,并与国内外有关层位对比,定地层时代为晚古新世。
