摘要

The Oligocene locality at Aubenas-les-Alpes, France, has yielded an interesting sample of anthracotheres representing two subfamilies, Anthracotheriinae and Bothriodontinae. The large dental remains are attributed to Anthracotherium magnum, the smaller dental and postcranial fossils are attributed to Elomeryx crispus. The phalanges of the latter species are proximo-distally shortened, suggesting a brachypothere-like distal limb morphology, in contrast to the elongated pedal elements that are usually found in anthracotheres. The presence of these two taxa at the site agrees with correlation to MP 25.
