Découverte de deux nouvelles espèces du genre Myocricetodon dans le Miocène supérieur du bassin d'Aı̈t Kandoula (Maroc)

Abstract

The Aı̈t Kandoula basin is known for its abundance of micromammal fauna. The systematic study of the fauna of two layers of the Afoud section (AF6 and AF5), highlights the presence of two new species: Myocricetodon afoudensis nov. sp. and Myocricetodon jaegeri nov. sp. These two layers are respectively dated at 10.1 and 6.3 Ma by magnetostratigraphic correlation.
