taxa present, Sandelzhausen shows a
carnivoran community typical, though
deprived, for lthe Lower to Middle Miocene
of Europe, but different from
roughly contemporary Mediterranean
faunas such as those from Candir or
Pasalar in Turkey.

海 狸 = The beaver (Mammalia, Castoridae)
from the Miocene of Sandelzhausen
(southern Germany). ( 英 文 ). Stefen C.

83(1): 183-186
The Early-Middle Miocene boundary
locality Sandelzhausen yielded three
beaver teeth: one lower incisor fragment
and two strongly worn upper premolars,
a right and a left one. The latter are so
similar in wear, height, size, and enamel
pattern that they probably represent one
individual. Although the teeth have been
referred to Chalicomys jaegeri Kaup,
1832, it seems more likely that they belong
to Steneofiber depereti Mayet,
1908. However, the assignment of the
present material to either one of these
species is difficult, besause in the advanced
wear stage some diagnostic
characteristics cannot be assessed.

The cricetid species Memocricetodon
gracilis, Democricetodon mutilus,
Megacricetodon bavaricus, and
Megacricetodon minor from Sandelzhausen
are represented by more than
2,000 molars providing substantial data
on the variability in sizes and on variation
in morphologies. Temporal and spatial
distributions of these species indicate
that they are probablyimmigrants in
SE Germany, originating from southeastern
or more southern areas. Except
for M. minor, whose origin is not clear
and could be regarded as an immigrant
frommore eastern areas. Using the
length of the mesoloph in the second
upper molars as an indicator of habitat,
D. gracilis and M. minor had a preference
for a humid habitat, D. mutilus and
M. bavaricus a preference for drier habitats.

The carbon, oxygen, and strontium
isotope composition of enamel from
teeth of larg Miocene herbivorous
mammals from sandelzhausen in the
North Alpine foreland basin, were analyzed
to infer diet and habitat. Most taxa
were C3 browsers in a forested and humid
floodplain environment in the Molasse
Basin, which experienced a warmtemperate
to subtropical climate and
possibly low seasonality.

Tree bovid species are present at
Dorn-Durkheim 1. The overwhelmingly
abundant species is a boselaphine, Miotragocerus
sp., with smaller and less advanced
teeth than Tragoportax amalthea
from Pikermi, Greece. Miotragocerus
was present in the latest middle Miocene
and Vallesian of western and central
Europe and survived into the Turolian.
