dc:description"FIG. 1. — The latest Miocene Eucyon Tedford & Qiu, 1996 dispersal: A, oldest record of E. davisi (Merriam, 1911) is from Early Hemphillian localities in the western North America (●). The genus quickly expands its record to east in the central and south eastern North America, where it is a common element in late Hemphillian local faunas (□). The late Miocene (MN 12-13 in the European mammal biochronology; ○ locations correspond to time of transcontinental dispersal of the genus, across the Beringia, towards Asia, Europe, and Africa; B, type specimen of E. davisi, right M1-2 in occlusal view (M1 length measures about 10 mm) from Rattlesnake creek, early Hemphillian, Oregon (UCMP545; Earth Sciences Dept., University of Florence); C, D, E. monticinensis (Rook, 1992) left M1 in lingual (C) and occlusal (D) views (M1 length about 17 mm) from Monticino Quarry near Brisighella (BRS27/6; Earth Sciences Dept., University of Florence); E, the figure is completed by a reconstructed scene of a group of adult Eucyon moving eastward in a late Miocene Central Asia grassland scenario. The artistic scene aims to ideally represent the dispersal of the genus Eucyon from North America to the Old World during the latest Miocene.";
