Text-fig. 6b M a t e r i a l. One maxilla, EUNHM PV-13239, Nasrettinhoca 1, early Pliocene, MN 14. D e s c r i p t i o n. The maxilla is incomplete and represented by a fragment of its anterior part. It bears pleurodont teeth. Only three teeth are preserved. All teeth are cylindrical, slender, and vertical; their bases are not expanded. The height of the teeth does not exceed approximately 1 mm . The tooth apices are bicuspid. R e m a r k s. The fragmentary maxilla from Nasrettinhoca 1 clearly shows the typical character of Lacertidae , i.e. the pleurodont bicuspid teeth (e.g. Estes et al. 1988 ). Lacertidae are highly abundant and variable in the region of modern day Turkey . This makes the identification of fragmentary material such as the specimen from Nasrettinhoca 1 problematic. The small size of the maxilla would suggest the presence of a relatively small-sized taxon.
