Eurolagus fontannesi
(Depéret, 1887)
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — See
Table 3
for data and measurements.
DESCRIPTION
The lower deciduous premolar is larger and more robust than the corresponding tooth of
Prolagus
Pomel, 1853
. The p4-m1 is a juvenile specimen with the beginning of root formation. Th e m2 is an adult one with developed roots. Th e root formation is a substantial character of the genus
Eurolagus
among the middle Miocene lagomorphs.
COMMENTS
In the Felsőtárkány Basin,
Eurolagus
was found in the localities FT 3/2, FT 3/8, FT 3/10.
Prolagus
was collected from FF 2/3 and FF 2/7. Th ese two genera never occur together in the Felsőtárkány localities.
