Abstract: The IVPP and Anhui Provincial Geological Bureau joint team had made several times of paleontological investigation in Tujinshan Area, Jiashan County, Anhui Province since 1970’s, resulting in finding a relatively rich Paleogene mammalian fauna. Apart from Sinonyx jiashanensis (Zhou et al. ,1995) and Sinomylus zhaii (Mckenna and Meng ,2000), seven species belonging to five orders of Mammalia are described in the present paper, which not only increase the faunal content but also provide important evidence for the geological age of the fossil2bearing bed.

摘要: 记述了在安徽省嘉山县土金山晚中新世地层中发现的7 种哺乳动物化石,其中包括两个新种———翟氏肉齿兽? ( Sarcodon ? zhaii sp. nov. ) 和原始皖柱兽( Wanostylops promissus sp. nov. ) 。这是目前为止有关嘉山土金山动物群最为全面的一次报道。动物群的性质表明含化石的土金山组的时代为晚古新世,很可能相当于格沙头期或稍早。
