Text-fig. 11b

M a t e r i a l. 1 View Text-fig fragmental p3 (1.81 × ca. 1.7 mm), 12 lower and upper teeth.

D e s c r i p t i o n. The single slightly damaged p3 shows the generalized morphology of the genus. Noteworthy is the antero-internal indentation of the anterconid filled with cement.

C o m m e n t s. Ochotona species are common in late Vallesian and early Turolian faunas of Eastern Europe and Anatolia ( Sen 2003, 2016, Čermák 2016). The form from Gaverdovsky is distinct in a stronger separation of anteroconid by equally deep, obliquely inclined paraflexid and protoflexid.
