New carnivoraforms from the early Eocene of Europe and their bearing on the evolution of the Carnivoraformes

Abstract: Two new mammalian carnivoraform species, Uintacyon hookeri sp. nov. and Quercygale smithi sp. nov., are described from the early Eocene of Europe. U. hookeri sp. nov. is recorded in Mutigny (MP8 + 9, PE IV), Avenay (MP8 + 9, PE V), Brasles, Cond e-en-Brie (MP8 + 9) and Cuis (MP 10), while Q. smithi sp. nov. comes from Mutigny and Mancy (MP10). Because the two species are not recorded in earliest Eocene localities such as Dormaal and Le Quesnoy (MP7, PE I), it is proposed that they dispersed after the main phas… Show more

“…Still, the Feliformia and the Caniformia are recovered as separate clades. In the former (figure 1, Node A), Tapocyon robustus , known from the Uintan NALMA of the Rocky Mountain region and southern California, and Quercygale angustidens , a Late-Eocene taxon from Europe (note the genus is known as early as the Early Eocene; [48]), are allied with nimravids and the unquestionable feliforms P. lamandini , V. julieni and Pr. lemanensis .…”

“…This faunal turnover probably affected both the Mesogean and Northern provinces because the Sinopinae also disappeared from the Mesogean area (Solé et al, 2013a). Solé (2014) showed an almost identical pattern in the evolution of the European carnivoraforms. Another group of mammals, the Coryphodontidae, which were the largest herbivorous mammals of the time, disappeared from Europe at the same time (Table 8).…”
