Abstract:

This paper is a description of a new goose species, Anser eldaricus sp.n., from the Upper Sarmatian fauna of Eldar in the border region between Georgia and Azerbaydzhan. The description is based on the proximal part of the right humerus (holotype), the parasternal part of the right coracoid, a fragment of the ulnar diaphysis and a fragmentary radius. In size this bird resembled the swan.
