Equus remains from the Pleistocene deposits of Sardhok Pabbi Hills, Pakistan - 02/08/24
Abstract |
New Early to Middle Pleistocene equid material has been recovered from the Upper Siwalik Subgroup at Sardhok (Pabbi Hills, Pakistan). Large-sized and relatively hypsodont horses are common elements of the Pleistocene faunas of the Subcontinent. The fossils represent the early Equus of the Siwaliks, and shares many morphological characters with already known E. sivalensis and E. namadicus material from other localities of the Upper Siwalik Subgroup. However, the described material shows variation in size and morphology, hence, described as Equus morphotype I and Equus morphotype II. The Equus material is more abundant in the Sardhok site than any other known sites of the Pabbi Hills, Pakistan.
