Dipodidae (Mammalia, Rodentia) from the Paleogene of south-east Serbia

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

Isolated cheek teeth of the Asian dipodid Heosminthus primiveris from four early Oligocene localities in the Koritnica-Babušnica basin, south-east Serbia, are described. The record of the Paleogene Dipodidae of Central Asia and Europe is briefly discussed. The current view of the migration pattern of the Paleogene Dipodidae between central Asia and Europe is revised: the migration of Plesiosminthus into Europe during the late Oligocene was preceded by the immigration of Heosminthus into the Serbo-Macedonian high (S. E. Europe) during the early Oligocene.
