Abstract

Spalacinae are an unusual component of the fossil record around the world with a limited geographical distribution. The revisited section of Afşar includes one of the richest collections of Spalacinae in Turkey. From Afşar 1, near the base of the section we recovered Pliospalax cf. macoveii while in Afşar 2, at the top of the section we distinguish the species P. tourkobouniensis. The current research includes the first record of the last-mentioned species outside of Europe. Both spalacines indicate a dry and open space environment and, in accordance with the Arvicolinae, suggest that Afşar 1 can be attributed to MN 15 while Afşar 2 is correlated to MN 16.

来自土耳其西部阿夫沙尔地区的早上新世 Spalacinae

Spalacinae 是全世界化石记录中一个不寻常的组成部分，地理分布有限。重新考察的阿夫沙尔剖面包括土耳其最丰富的 Spalacinae 类群之一。在阿夫沙尔 1 号地段的底部附近，我们发现了 Pliospalax cf. macoveii，而在阿夫沙尔 2 号地段的顶部，我们发现了 P. tourkobouniensis。目前的研究包括最后提到的物种在欧洲以外的首次记录。这两种刺桐都显示了干燥和空旷的环境，并与 Arvicolinae 相一致，表明阿夫沙尔 1 号可归属于 MN 15，而阿夫沙尔 2 号则与 MN 16 相关。

期刊介绍： Geobios publishes bimonthly in English original peer-reviewed articles of international interest in any area of paleontology, paleobiology, paleoecology, paleobiogeography, (bio)stratigraphy and biogeochemistry. All taxonomic groups are treated, including microfossils, invertebrates, plants, vertebrates and ichnofossils. Geobios welcomes descriptive papers based on original material (e.g. large Systematic Paleontology works), as well as more analytically and/or methodologically oriented papers, provided they offer strong and significant biochronological/biostratigraphical, paleobiogeographical, paleobiological and/or phylogenetic new insights and perspectices. A high priority level is given to synchronic and/or diachronic studies based on multi- or inter-disciplinary approaches mixing various fields of Earth and Life Sciences. Works based on extant data are also considered, provided they offer significant insights into geological-time studies.
