A. Note on The Geology of The Mammalian Fossil Bed of Elmadağı-Evciler Ağılları

Abstract

The mammalian remains were first found at a spot approximately two hundred meters west of the willow grove which is at the point where the Gökdere stream leaves the nan-ow valley it has excavated in the relatively old and hard rocks of Elmadağı (Elmadağı mountain) and just over one kilometer east of the village of Evciler Ağıllan. The elevation of the fossil beds is between 1050 and 1100 meters above sea-level. If one goes there by following the Ankara-BM â highway and turns off onto the cart road at the 49th kilometer, the village of Evciler Ağıllan is about 6o kilometers southeast of Ankara
