陕西府谷发现的晚中新世维氏大唇犀(奇蹄目,犀科)新材料

邓涛   

Abstract: The new materials in the present paper have abundant skull and mandible specimens, and try improve a deeper recognition to Ch. wimani for us. These new specimens show that Ch. wimani has a relatively particular position in the genus Chilotherium. It has very little separated parietal crests, a strongly concave cranial dorsal profile, well-developed supraorbital tubercles,and a high occipital surface, which indicate that Ch. wimani is the most primitive one in the known species of the genus Chilotherium.

摘要: 新材料有丰富的头骨和下颌骨标本,因而对维氏大唇犀有了更加深人的了解。观察结果显示维氏大唇犀在大唇犀属中的地位相当特别,它具有极窄的顶嵴间平面、马鞍形的头骨顶面、发育的眶上结节和较高的枕面,这些特征显示出它是所有已知大唇犀中最原始的一个种。
