Late Miocene Rhinocerotids (Mammalia) from Yulafli (Çorlu-Thrace/Turkey)
2001
New Rhinocerotidae remains from the Upper Miocene in Yulafli (Corlu-Thrace/Turkey) include Aceratherium incisivum Kaup, 1832, Acerorhinus zernowi (Borissiak, 1914) and Dihoplus schleiermacheriKaup, 1832). A. incisivum and D. schleiermacheri are first documented in Turkey. A. zernowi is already known in Turkey but is first described from Yulafli. This faunal assemblage indicates a Turolian (MN 11–MN 12) age. A. incisivum and D. schleiermacheri are consistent with a European paleobiogeography. The presence of A. zernowi in Thrace indicates a paleobiogeographical crossroad from Anatolia to Europe.
