Dorcatherium cf. nagrii from the Chinji Type Locality (Chakwal, Northern Pakistan) of the Chinji Formation, Lower Siwaliks, Pakistan

This paper reports the first discovery of complete lower molar series ascribed to Dorcatherium cf. nagrii from the Chinji type locality of the Chinji Formation. The material, discovered by the team of Palaeontology of the Punjab University, Lahore, Pakistan in the past year comes from the Middle Miocene continental deposits of the Lower Siwaliks (Chinji Formation, northern Pakistan) dated approximately from 14.2 to 11.2 My, and provides new information about the lower dentition of D. nagrii. The new material extends the presence of D. nagrii to the type locality of the Chinji Formation and suggests a humid habitat with abundant cover, based on D. nagrii and the already recorded taxa from the locality.
