مطالعه و بررسي جمجمه و فك بالايي Hipparion primigenium در شمال باختر ايران

The Study and Survey of Cranium and Maxillary of Hipparion primigenium

One of Hipparion species which has complete characters of cranium and maxillary with teeth found during excavation is H.primignium. Since this sample is the only complete one in the world, (of course without mandible) with special species characters we can call it Homeotype. Because of finding this species, pyroclastic sediments of Maragheh would be dated upper Astracian, so Maragheh informal formation which in the past was thought to be as old as vallencian- Trulain, seems a bit older. Because the mentioned samples were also found in Samus and Pikermi in Greece, so we can say these two regions have vertebrate familiarities in fossils fauna and other characters like paleogeography, biochronology and biogeography in late Miocene- early Pliocene.
