<em>CORMOHIPPARION SOFULARENSIS</em> N. SP., A NEW HIPPARION SPECIES OF FROM THE LATE MIOCENE OF SOFULAR (TÜRKİYE, EARLY TUROLIAN) Open
In this contribution, we study the hipparion remains from the Early Turolian locality of Sofular, Türkiye. We identify the presence of a new species, Cormohipparion sofularensis, with three other taxa which we refer to Hippotherium brachyp…

Phylogenetic Signal in Primate Tooth Enamel Proteins and its Relevance for Paleoproteomics Open
Ancient tooth enamel, and to some extent dentin and bone, contain characteristic peptides that persist for long periods of time. In particular, peptides from the enamel proteome (enamelome) have been used to reconstruct the phylogenetic re…

Cormohipparion cappadocium, a new species from the Late Miocene of Yeniyaylacık, Türkiye, and the emergence of western Eurasian hipparion bioprovinciality Open
We studied the Vallesian records from Türkiye and Iran, and uncovered a diverse record of Cormohipparion species from Yeniyaylacık and Sinap, Türkiye, and their apparent descendant, Hipparion gettyi from Maragheh, Iran. This prompted us to…
