THE LATE MIOCENE PERISSODACTYLA IN SAZAK (KALE-DENİZLİ)
A new mammalian fauna is recognized in the southwest of Sazak (Kale-Denizli). Hipparion matthewi Abel and Ceratotherium neumayri (Osborn) are described and compared with similar forms from Turkey and Eurasia. The Perissodactyla is indicative of a late Late Miocene (Middle Turolian) age The paleoecologic characteristics suggest a steppe environment with patches of bushes.
