Miocene rhinoceroses from Romania: an overview

• Vlad CODREA

Abstract:

In Romania, Miocene rhinoceroses have the following stratigraphic distribution. From the Early Miocene there are only a few data that document the existence of this group. In the Middle Miocene, Brachypotherium brachypus and Lartetotherium sansaniensis? have been recorded from MN 5 and Gaindatherium? from MN 6. Alicornops simorrense characterizes the Late Astaracian and Early Vallesian faunas (MN ?7 or 8 - MN 9). Aceratherium incisivum was present in both the Vallesian and the Turolian, i. e., MN 9 - MN 11. Dicerorhinus orientalis has a single occurrence in MN 9, while “Dicerorhinus” schleiermacheri is known from the Late Vallesian and Turolian, i. e,. MN 10-MN 13.
