Abstract

The Chalicotheriidae fossils described in this paper were found by a certain Mustafa Özyıldız during clay subsoil cleaning at the coal-mine Bursa-Orhaneli (Burmu) in Western Anatolia. The duplex bone (joint middle and proximal phalanx) belongs most probably to the second digit of the manus. The epiphyseal parts of vertebrae found among the fossils point to a young animal of the assumed Ancylotherium species. All bones - with the excep­tion of duplex and metacarpal II - are too fragmented. However, the authors are strongly inclined to believe that they are either of Metaschizotherium or Ancylotherium origin. In particular duplex and metacarpal II are considered the most characteristic bones for such an attribution. The teeth among the fossil material are those of Chalicotherii­dae which contributed to the conclusion that the remains are to be classified as those of Metaschizotheriwn species.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Batı Anadolu'da Bursa-Orhaneli kömür ocağındaki taban kili temizliği esnasında Mustafa Özyıldız adlı şahıs tarafından bulunan Chalicotheriidae fossilleri tanımlandı. Bulunan duplex kemiği (birleşmiş Phalanx proximalis ve media), büyük ihtimalle manus'un ikinci parmağına ait olduğu sonucuna varıldı. Bulunan fossiller içerinde vertebra'ların epifiz kısımlarının bulunması, Ancylotherium türü olduğu düşünülen bu hayvanın genç bir bireye ait olduğu kanısını uyandırmaktaydı. Bütün kemikler-duplex ve metacarpus II hariç- çok parçalıydı. Bununla birlikte fossil materyallerinin, metaschizoterium yada Ancyloterium'a ait olduklarına kuvvetle muhtemel olduğuna inanıyoruz. Özellikle duplex ve metacarpus II bunlar için en belirleyici kemikleri oluşturmaktadır. Fossil materyalleri arasında bulunan diş materyallerinin de chalicother dişlerine ait olmaları, yapılan Metaschizotherium türleri (Sp.) tespitindeki görüşlerimizin bu yönde olmasına katkı sağlamaktaydı.
