Abstract
The large comb-antlered deer Eucladoceros orientalis (Radulesco et Samson, 1967) is recorded in the Early Pleistocene fauna (1.8–1.5 Ma) of Taurida Cave, Crimea. The proximal parts of two antlers, two incomplete upper jaws, a lower jaw, dentition, and a metatarsal bone are described. New data on the morphology of this species confirm its assignment to the genus Eucladoceros. E. orientalis, an autochthonous species of the Early Pleistocene fauna of the Northern Black Sea region, is characteristic of the Psekupsian faunal complex of southern Eastern Europe.
期刊介绍:
Paleontological Journal (Paleontologicheskii zhurnal) is the principal Russian periodical in paleontology. The journal publishes original work on the anatomy, morphology, and taxonomy of fossil organisms, as well as their distribution, ecology, and origin. It also publishes studies on the evolution of organisms, ecosystems, and the biosphere and provides invaluable information on global biostratigraphy with an emphasis on Eastern Europe and Asia.
