Abstract
In 1968, the team of vertebrate Paleontology of M.T.A. discovered a part of a cranium and some horn-cores of Gazella deperdita Gerxmis (Syn. G. brevicornis), several horn-cores of Palaeoreas lindermayeri Gaudry and a many Mammalian fossil remains in Külâhlıayağı site of Gülpınar (Çanakkale).
Numerous specmens of Palaeoreas lidermayeri Gaudry and Gazella deperdita Gervais was found m the exploration and excavation of the different place of Anatolia until to day. The first discovering of Gazella deperdita Gervais and Palaeoreas litodermayeri Gaudry in Dardanelles province is very important for the stratigraphie correlation of this site with Anatolia localities and the other sites in Europe and Asia. Thus, we will have much knowledge for faunal migration and the region of dispersion between Gülpınar and the other localites of Anatolia, Asia and Europe.
Formerly, Choerolophodon, Hipparion, Palaeotragus and Helladotherium was found on this region. Now, Palaeoreas lindermayeri Gaudry and Gazella deperdita Gervais have added to these Mammaliam fauna. The last two specks belong to steppe fauna. The stratigraphic position of the locality had been clearly outlined by adding the new evidence to the early fauna. For this reason, these two fossils are very much important for Dardanelles.
These fossils indicate for this locality an age of middle level of Pontian (lower Pliocene).
