First fossil of Varanus Merrem (Squamata: Varanidae) from the Miocene Siwaliks of Pakistan

In the '50s of the XX century, a German expedition lead by Richard Dehm collected a large amount of fossil remains from northern Pakistan. Among these was an isolated trunk vertebra of a lizard, which is here referred to Varanus sp. The collecting site of this specimen is not precisely known, b...

Parmi ceux-ci se trouvait une vertèbre isolée du tronc d'un lézard, qui est ici désigné comme Varanus sp. Le site de collecte de ce spécimen n'est pas connu précisément, mais il provient très probablement de sédiments des Siwaliks du Miocène moyen à supérieur (Formation de Chinji). Il s'agit de la première occurrence publiée d'un lézard fossile du Néogène du Pakistan. Il s'ajoute à l'enregistrement très disparate du genre Varanus Merrem, 1820 en Asie. Cette occurrence soutient également les reconstructions précédentes d'un climat chaud, du Miocène moyen au début du Miocène supérieur, dans les Siwaliks. 22022-01-0120222022-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/272254https://dx.doi.org/urn:doi:10.5252/geodiversitas2022v44a7reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengAgencia Estatal de Investigación https://doi.org/10.13039/501100011033 CGL2016-76431-Popen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest material està protegit per drets d'autor i/o drets afins.
