“…Its distribution is likewise reported from Dadu and Larkana dsitricts of Sindh and Mekran and Lasbela regions of Baluchistan (Roberts 1997). A fossil ancestor of Manis crassicaudata had been found close to Manchar Lake, Dadu area (Colbert 1935). Fossil pholidotes have also been found in Asia, Africa, Europe and North America (Heath 1992).…”

Furthermore, 111 live captures, 313 killing and selling of 26kg scales were reported by the local community. Groups involved in killing of Indian Pangolin included local hunters (90.3%), farmers (8.2%) and labours (1.5%). We propose more studies should be carried out to improve the baseline data on the ecology of species and awareness education programs both by government and private sectors, to educate local communities living in and around Pir Lasura National Park for getting support for the conservation of the Indian Pangolin.

“…24, 28). Colbert ( , 1935 interpreted the worn upper molar from Chinji as an M1/, possibly on account of the much greater degree of wear than in the M3/. However, its dimensions suggest that it is an M2/, and comparison with material from Sandelzhausen, Germany, reveals that the wear gradient in this lineage is indeed steep.…”

Los suoideos de talla pequeña del Mioceno de Europa y Asia

The history of study of small suoids from the Miocene of Eurasia is complex for several reasons: scarcity of fossil material, a high degree of dental convergence and parallelism between closely and distantly related lineages, and frequent misattribution of fossils, resulting in the gradual development of a confusing taxonomy. Changes in taxonomy above the genus level, have added to the complexity; European lineages classified in Suidae in 1924 are now arranged into three separate families; Suidae, Palaeochoeridae and Sanitheriidae. Recent studies have considerably clarified the situation, but there remain several problematic issues to resolve, especially among the Palaeochoeridae. The fossil register of some taxa is limited, so it is necessary to put on record newly recognised specimens in order to fill out our knowledge concerning them. This paper includes previously undescribed material of Palaeochoeridae and small Suidae, as well as reinterpretation of some fossils published in "obscure" scientific journals. The latter include some taxa that have priority over more recently proposed names. A systematic revision of these forms is carried out, and the paper ends with a proposal for a revised taxonomy of the Palaeochoeridae, a family that has recently taken on importance in the debate about the origins of Hippopotamidae.Keywords: Suoidea, Palaeochoeridae, Suidae, Miocene, Eurasia, Taxonomy, Systematics RESUMEN La historia del estudio de los suoideos de talla pequeña del Mioceno de Eurasia es compleja por varias razones: la escasez de material fósil, un grado alto de convergencia y paralelismo dental entre linajes cercana y lejanamente relacionados, y la frecuente errónea identificación de los fósiles, teniendo como resultado el desarrollo gradual de una taxonomía confusa. Los cambios en la taxonomía por encima del nivel de género, han contribuído a esta complejidad; linajes europeos clasificados como Suidae en 1924 ahora se reparten en tres familias separadas; Suidae, Palaeochoeridae y Sanitheriidae. Estudios recientes han clarificado considerablemente la situación, pero quedan varios asuntos problemáticos por resolver, especialmente en el caso de los Palaeochoeridae. El registro fósil de algunos taxones es limitado, así que es necesario recopilar los especímenes actualmente reconocidos para completer nuestro conocimiento con respecto a ellos. Este trabajo incluye material no descrito previamente de Palaeochoeridae y pequeños Suidae, así como la reinterpretación de algunos fósiles publicados en revistas científicos poco accesibles. Entre estos últimos se incluyen algunos taxones que tienen prioridad sobre nombres propuestos recientemente. Se lleva a cabo una revisión sistemática de estas formas, y se finaliza con una propuesta de revisión taxonómica de Palaeochoeridae, una familia que ha tomado recientemente gran importancia en el debate acerca de los orígenes de Hippopotamidae.

“…There are at least three lateritic layers in the topmost part of the Pondaung Formation in the Paukkaung area (Aung, 1999). The age of the member is now considered to be the late middle Eocene (=Bartonian) on the basis of mammalian faunal correlation (Pilgrim and Cotter, 1916;Pilgrim, 1925Pilgrim, , 1928Colbert, 1938;Holroyd and Ciochon, 1994;Ducrocq, 1999), nannoplankton assemblage (Mon, 1999), biostratigraphic relationships with adjacent marine units (Bender, 1983;Holroyd and Ciochon, 1994), and fissiontrack dating on the tuff bed (37.2±1.3 Ma: Tsubamoto et al, 2002b).…”

Stratigraphy of the primate-bearing beds of the Eocene Pondaung Formation at Paukkaung area, Myanmar

We report on the stratigraphy of the 'Upper Member' of the middle Eocene Pondaung Formation at Paukkaung area (central Myanmar), with an emphasis on horizons that have yielded primate fossils. Deposits from the Paukkaung area of the Pondaung Formation have yielded many primate fossils at localities Pk1, Pk2, Pk3, and Pk5. The primate-bearing beds of these localities correspond to horizons of almost the same stratigraphic level. This was confirmed by tracking marker tuff and sandstone beds distributed in the Paukkaung area.
