New fossil record of Hyaenictitherium pilgrimi(Carnivora: Hyaenidae)from Dhok Pathan Formation of Hasnot, Pakistan

摘要

New dental material-one maxilla bearing P3 and P4-of Early Pliocene hyaenid Hyaenictitherium pilgrimi from the Dhok Pathan Formation of Hasnot is described and discussed. The presence of this hyaenid from the Early Pliocene(Ruscinian equivalent)deposits at Hasnot is an important fossil record of this species from the Siwalik continental deposits of Pakistan. The purpose of the paper is to provide more information about the fossil record and its stratigraphic extension from Late Miocene to Early Pliocene from the Siwalik continental deposits.
