Abstract
The assemblage of small mammals from a site near Yeniköy (Anatolia) is described. The assemblage was collected by screen-washing a sample from a locality in the Selimye Formation (Sivas basin). The site has a magneto-stratigraphic calibrated age of 29 Ma (younger part of the early Oligocene). The murids dominate in ... read more

Note: Funding Information: The field work has been supported financially by the Department of Earth Sciences (Utrecht University). Funding Information: We gratefully acknowledge the facilities offered by the MTA (Turkish Geological Survey) during the field parties many years ago, in particular Gerçek Saraç (now retired) is thanked for his support. The SEM pictures of the cheek teeth were made by Tilly Bouten (Utrecht University) and retouched by Jaap Luteijn (formerly at Utrecht University). The map of Figure 1 was prepared by Margot Stoete (Utrecht University); Leonard Bik (Utrecht University, Earth Sciences Geolab) assisted in the preparation of the incisor samples. The SEM photographs of incisor microstructure were made by Hans Meeldijk (Utrecht University, Electron Microscopy Department). A discussion with Daniela Kalthoff (Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm) sharpened our interpretation of Eucricetodon incisor structure. Jan van Dam (Utrecht University) critically read the typescript. We thank Gudrun Höck and Lars van den Hoek Ostende (Naturalis, Leiden) for their careful and detailed reviews.
