During the course of the excavations which I conducted at the fossiliferous locality of Küçükyozgat in 1951, I found the remains of seven horn-cores belonging to the genus Oioceros. Ali these horncores, described in the present report, were found in the whitislı calcareous marls of lacustrine origin, south of Küçükyozgat (Elmadağ) which had been first visited by Tschachtli in 1941. The fauna from the whitish calcareous marls, located just south of Sarıkaya Ağılı (the corral of Sarıkaya), I have designated as "Küçükyozgat fauna" to distinguish it from the "Karacahasan fauna discovered during the field work of 1951, in the heterogeneous,calcareous clays of light brown color nearer to the village of Karacahasan in this neighborhood
