Abstract

A detailed description of a partial skeleton of “Mammut” borsoni from the late Pliocene (Early Villafranchian, MN 16/17) of Kaltensundheim in Thuringia (Germany) is provided, and concentrates on osteological comparisons with specimens of the European Mammutidae (Zygolophodon turicensis and “M”. borsoni) and the North American Mammut americanum. Osteological similarities between “M”. borsoni and M. americanum have to be regarded as parallelisms. The Kaltensundheim specimen is one of the youngest appearances of mammutids in Europe. The skeleton may represent a female, because it is distinctly smaller than male individuals from Milia in Greece of a similar ontogenetic age. We use the genus name “Mammut” in quotation marks, because the genus Mammut evolved in North America and no reinvasion into Eurasia can be proven. Therefore, the genus name Mammut should not be used prematurely for Eurasian finds. Wighart v. Koenigswald.

德国Kaltensundheim上新世“Mammut”borsoni(哺乳纲，长鼻目)的部分骨架

本文详细描述了德国图林根州Kaltensundheim地区上新世晚期(Villafranchian早期，MN 16/17)“Mammut”borsoni的部分骨骼，并将其与欧洲猛犸象科(Zygolophodon turicensis和“M”)标本进行了骨学比较。和北美的美洲猛犸象。" M "和" M "的骨学相似性。borsoni和m.a americum必须被看作是平行的。卡尔滕松海姆标本是欧洲最年轻的哺乳动物之一。这具骨骼可能代表一名女性，因为它明显小于希腊米利亚的男性个体，其个体发育年龄相似。我们用“猛犸象”这个属名加了引号，因为猛犸象属是在北美进化而来的，没有重新入侵欧亚大陆的证据。因此，不应该过早地将猛犸象这个属名用于欧亚大陆的发现。怀特诉科尼斯瓦尔德案。Universität波恩，德国地质科学研究所(Paläontologie)，德国波恩Nussallee 8, D53115。koenigswald@uni-bonn.de Jakub Březina。马萨里克大学理学院地质科学系，捷克布尔诺Kotlářská 267/2, 611 37;摩拉维亚博物馆地质古生物学系，捷克布尔诺Zelný trh 6, 659 37。jbrezina@mzm.cz Ralf Werneburg。自然历史博物馆，贝索尔兹堡城堡，Burgstraße 6, D-98553 Schleusingen，德国。werneburg@museum-schleusingen.de厄休拉B.
