The sedimentary deposits exposed at Dolhești-1 belong to the last megacycle of the Moldavian Platform. Approximately one ton of sediment was screen-washed to collect the fossils using stable sieves. The most essential fossil elements identified in the locality were teeth of small mammals. More than 30 teeth were identified belonging to nine taxa: <em>Hansdebruijnia erksinae</em>, <em>Neocricetodon progressus</em>, <em>Vasseuromys pannonicus</em>, <em>Myomimus dehmi</em>, <em>Hylopetes</em> aff. <em>hoeckarum</em>, Sciuridae indet., <em>Ochotona eximia</em>, <em>Schizogalerix</em> cf. <em>sarmaticum</em>, and <em>Crusafontina</em> cf. <em>kormosi</em>, the rodents being the most diverse group. Based on the presence of <em>Vasseuromys pannonicus</em>, the age of the small mammal assemblage is interpreted as early Turolian (MN 11, Late Miocene). The genera <em>Vasseuromys</em>, <em>Hylopetes</em>, and <em>Hansdebruijnia</em> are reported for the first time in the Late Miocene of eastern Romania. This small mammal assemblage identified from Dolhești-1 represents the first early Turolian microvertebrate findings from the Late Miocene of Romania. The diversity of this faunal association represents an advantage for the interpretation of the paleoenvironment. Furthermore, the discovery of these taxa constitutes an important contribution to the study of small mammals from the Late Miocene of the Eastern Carpathians Foreland, adding new data about Turolian localities in Eastern Europe.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55116,"journal":{"name":"Geobios","volume":"88 ","pages":"Pages 5-14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143387135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
