First sirenian remains from the Palaeogene of Crimea.
Historical Biology DOI: 10.1080/08912963.2020.1852558 Publ. online Jan. 4, 2021.
–ABSTRACT: Fragmentary remains, including two anterior premolars, axis fragment, a phalanx, and rib fragments from the Middle Eocene (late Bartonian) Ak-Kaya locality represent the first sirenian fossils from the Paleogene of Crimea. The lower p3 shows some similarity with p3 in the dugongid Eotheroides sp. from the Eocene of North America. The axis is similar in proportions to the axis of the stem sirenian Sobrarbesiren from the Middle Eocene of Spain. The manual(?) phalanx suggests a semiaquatic adaptation of the Crimean sirenian. These remains are identified as Sirenia indet. with possible affinities with the Dugongidae.
