Microstonyx was an extinct genus of suid that existed during the Miocene in Asia and Europe. [1] [2]
Fossils of the species M. major have been found in Spain, [3] North Macedonia, [4] Turkiye, [5] and China. [6]
Pachycrocuta is an extinct genus of prehistoric hyenas. The largest and most well-researched species is Pachycrocuta brevirostris, colloquially known as the giant short-faced hyena as it stood about 90–100 cm (35–39 in) at the shoulder and it is estimated to have averaged 110 kg (240 lb) in weight, approaching the size of a lioness, making it the largest known hyena. Pachycrocuta first appeared during the late Miocene. By 800,000 years ago, it became locally extinct in Europe, with it surviving in East Asia until at least 500,000 years ago, and possibly later elsewhere in Asia.
Ancylotherium is an extinct genus of the family Chalicotheriidae, subfamily Schizotheriinae, endemic to Europe, Asia, and Africa during the Late Miocene-Early Pleistocene, existing for approximately 9.8 million years.
Agriotherium is an extinct genus of bears whose fossils are found in Miocene through Pleistocene-aged strata of North America, Eurasia, and Africa. This long-lived genus persisted from at least ~11.6–2.5 Mya. Materials from the late-surviving A. africanum in Africa have suggested that A. africanum died out during the early Gelasian.
Percrocuta is an extinct genus of hyena-like feliform carnivores. It lived in Europe, Asia, and Africa, during the Miocene epoch.
Prosantorhinus is an extinct genus of rhinocerotid from the lower and middle Miocene. The small teleoceratine rhinocerotid was found in western Europe and Asia.
Prolagus is an extinct genus of lagomorph. Over 20 species have been named, and the genus was abundant and widespread in Europe during the Neogene. However, by the end of the Middle Pleistocene, it was confined to a single species, the Sardinian pika, on the Corsica, Sardinia, and surrounding islands, where it survived into historical times. In North Africa and Western Asia, the genus is known from the Miocene and Pliocene. The scientific name may mean "before hares" or "primitive hares". Its taxonomy is disputed, with it either being considered a member of the family Ochotonidae, which includes living pikas, or the only member of the family Prolagidae.
Tarachomylax is an extinct genus of prehistoric sarcopterygians or lobe-finned fish.
Macroderma is a genus of microbats, present in the fossil record and as one extant species. They have existed in Australia since the early Miocene.
Brachypotherium is an extinct genus of rhinocerotid that lived in Eurasia and Africa during the Miocene.
Gazellospira is an extinct genus of antelope from the Miocene to Pleistocene of Europe and Asia.
Aureliachoerus was an extinct genus of suids that existed during the Miocene in Europe.
Celebochoerus cagayanensis is an extinct species of suid in the genus Celebochoerus. The first fossil specimen was discovered in 2016 in the Philippines. It differs from the Sulawesi species Celebochoerus heekereni in that it has mesial and distal enamel bands on its upper canines. It also has huge upper tusks. The animal's features are symplesiomorphic in suids, indicating a Philippines to Sulawesi migration route. They can be viewed at the National Museum of the Philippines.
Macroderma malugara is a species of bat known from fossil material found in Australia. The name describes a 'good killer' in the local language, and was similar in size and probably habits of the modern Macroderma gigas. They ate a wide variety of animals in their rainforest environment, including birds, turtles, small crocodiles and other bats.
Acanthorhina is an extinct genus of chimaera from the Toarcian age of the Jurassic period. It currently contains a single species, A. jaekeli known from the Posidonia shale of Holzmaden, Germany.
Acondylacanthus is an extinct genus of ctenacanthiform from the Paleozoic era. The type species is A.gracilis. Most species are known from the Carboniferous of America and the British isles. A. jaekeli is known from the upper Frasnian of Germany and the Upper Famennian of Russia. This genus is based entirely upon isolated dorsal fin spines, and thus may later be found synonymous with tooth-based genera. Many species have been ascribed to this genus, though there has been some confusion with Ctenachanthus. This genus is in need of review and research.
Tragoportax is an extinct genus of bovid ungulate. It lived during the upper Miocene, and its fossils have been found in Europe, Asia and Africa. Tragoportax is sometimes considered to have been a close relative of the extant nilgai, though it may have formed its own subfamily, along with Miotragocerus.
Apodemini is a tribe of muroid rodents in the subfamily Murinae. It contains two extant genera, one found throughout Eurasia and the other endemic to the Ryukyu Islands. Several fossil genera are also known from throughout Eurasia, including one large species (Rhagamys) that persisted on Sardinia and Corsica up until at least the first millennium BC, when it was likely wiped out by human activity.
Mesopotamocnus is an extinct genus of megalonychid ground sloth that lived during the Late Miocene in what is now Argentina. Fossils have been found in the Ituzaingó Formation of Argentina.
The Paraná Formation is a geologic formation in Argentina. It preserves fossils dating back to the late Miocene epoch.
Palaeoryx was a genus of bovid that lived during the Miocene epoch.
