“…The material from Petersbuch 28 therefore shows the difficulties of determining the subspecies: Amphiperatherium frequens was able to react to changing climatic or dietary conditions quite quickly with changes in size and morphology of its teeth and was therefore prone to develop more or less unique traits in each of its finding sites. Thus, more than the three subspecies described by von Koenigswald (1970) could be expected from different geographic regions, especially regions like France or Spain, where different ecological conditions were found (Furió et al 2012).…”

“…Germany, especially the southern part, has the richest fossil record of the species. Numerous findings were made in Europe (Aguilar et al 2003;Böttcher et al 2009;Furió et al 2012;Heissig 1989;Legendre 1982;Prieto 2011;Sach & Heizmann 2001;Sigé et al 1997;Ziegler 1990aZiegler , 1998Ziegler , 2000Ziegler & Fahlbusch 1986;Ziegler & Mörs 2000). The sites range from MN 2 to MN 6.…”

The only marsupial and the Erinaceidae from the Bavarian fissure filling Petersbuch 28 are described. The marsupial is Amphiperatherium frequens erkertshofense, the Erinaceidae are represented by Galerix aurelianensis and an unknown large galericine, which is present only by four isolated teeth. The three species are mostly present by single teeth; distal ends of humeri of Amphiperatherium and Galerix, astragali of Galerix as well as calcanei of Amphiperatherium are also described; the calcaneus for the first time from material which was not in situ.•

“…It cannot be further identified to the genus or species level and is assigned to Amphiperatherium, the only genus present at this time (Furió et al 2012). The small marsupial Amphiperatherium is quite common in contemporary faunas from southern Germany (Ziegler and Fahlbusch 1986;Klietmann et al 2014a).…”

Biostratigraphical and palaeoecological implications of the small mammal assemblage from the late early Miocene of Montalvos2, Teruel Basin, Spain

The rich early Miocene small mammal assemblage from Montalvos2, collected from lacustrine deposits directly overlying the basement, is unique within the Teruel Basin, a basin that is otherwise well known for its late Miocene/ Pliocene mammal faunas. The presence of Democricetodon decipiens, Megacricetodon primitivus, Eumyarion and Ligerimys ellipticus enables correlation with the local biozone Ca (approx. 16.3 Ma, MN4). The high percentage of ochotonids in Montalvos2 is remarkable, a phenomenon that is known to occur in older assemblages from the adjacent Calatayud-Montalbán Basin. The association in Montalvos2 includes species indicative of an arid biotope, such as the ochotonid Lagopsis penai and the rodents Simplomys simplicidens, Armantomys aragonensis, Melissiodon dominans and the xerine squirrel Heteroxerus, and species that are supposed to have lived in a more humid forested biotope, such as the Talpidae and the flying squirrel Albanensia. This wide range of species indicates that the environment in the Teruel Basin was highly diverse during the early Miocene.

“…Notably, the more advanced morphotype had already been found in MN 4 localities of Central Europe. In Spain, Plesiodimylus has only been found in the coastal areas, first as a transient (Furió et al 2012), but at the beginning of the late Miocene as a common element in the localities of the Vallès-Penedès (Furió et al 2011). …”
