Paleoenvironment and age of the Middle Pleistocene site of Gölbaşı (near Adıyaman, southeastern Turkey): a reconstruction based on rodents
Abstract
Small mammals from Gölbaşı (near Adıyaman, southeastern Turkey) have been analyzed in
order to reconstruct paleoenvironment and age of the fossil site. The species recorded at Gölbaşı
indicate an age around the Biharian/Toringian transition (‘Mimomys-Arvicola boundary’, early
Middle Pleistocene). The composition of the micromammal fauna suggests an open, humid and
warm environment with wooded areas in the vicinity and confirms the trend towards open
landscapes in the region during the Middle Pleistocene.
