Late Miocene carnivores from the classical locality of Pikermi (Attica, Greece) = Σαρκοφάγα του ανώτερου Μειοκαίνου από την κλασσική θέση του Πικερμίου (Αττική, Ελλάδα).
Περίληψη
Η παρούσα διπλωματική μεταπτυχιακή εργασία αφορά την ταξινομία απολιθωμένων σαρκοφάγων θηλαστικών από το Ανώτερο Μειόκαινο (~7.3 εχπ.) της κλασικής θέσης του Πικερμίου (Αττική, Ελλάδα). Στόχος της εργασίας είναι η ανάδειξη των παλαιών μουσειακών συλλογών και πώς η μελέτη αυτών μπορεί συχνά να οδηγήσει σε νέες και ενδιαφέρουσες πληροφορίες, καθώς επίσης και ο πιθανός παράλληλος εμπλουτισμός των γνώσεων της απολιθωμένης σαρκοφαγικής πανίδας του Πικερμίου. Στο πλαίσιο της παρούσας εργασίας αναδεικνύεται, επίσης, η περίφημη και πλούσια πανίδα σαρκοφάγων θηλαστικών του Πικερμίου καθώς αντιπροσωπεύεται από την πλειονότητα των σαρκοφαγικών οικογενειών που έχουν αναγνωρισθεί στη θέση αυτή. Πιο συγκεκριμένα προσδιορίστηκαν είδη από την οικογένεια των Hyaenidae, που και αποτελούν τον κύριο όγκο του υλικού της μεταπτυχιακής μελέτης, των Felidae, των Ailuridae, των Mustelidae και των Ursidae. Κατά την εκπόνηση της διπλωματικής μελετήθηκε τόσο κρανιοδοντικό όσο και μετακρανιακό υλικό και αναγνωρίσθηκαν τα παρακάτω taxa: από την οικογένεια των Hyaenidae αναγνωρίσθηκαν τα είδη (1) Ictitherium viverrinum, (2) Plioviverrops, (3) Adcrocuta eximia, (4) Lycyaena chaeretis, (5) το μέχρι πρότινος αινιγματικό Hyaenictis graeca και ενδεχομένως (6) το Hyanictitherium wongii. Από την οικογένεια των Felidae αναγνωρίσθηκαν τα είδη (1) Amphimachairodus giganteus, (2) Pontosmilus orientalis και ίσως των (3) “Metailurus parvulus”, (4) Pristifelis attica και (5) Paramachaerodus schlosseri. Η οικογένεια των Ailuridae εκπροσωπείται από το Simocyon primigenius μέσα από ορισμένα δείγματα σπάνιου μετακρανιακού υλικού, ενώ από τις οικογένειες των Mustelidae και Ursidae αναγνωρίσθηκαν τα Promeles palaeattica και Indarctos atticus αντίστοιχα.
