Çorakyerler Lokalitesi Hystricidae Buluntuları.

Over the years with the increasing number of species, Çorakyerler has turned out to be a reference locality for the Anatolian Late Miocene. In this locality, which has an extremely rich fauna, two materials belonging to the family of Hystricidae have been found. The existence of these members was not known until 2015 and the knowledge of their existence makes this locality richer. It also provides support for paleoecological comments. The Hystricidae materials from Çorakyerler have been identified as Hystrix sp. with the help of morphological studies and the analysis of plot diagrams. For this genus, which has been described in a limited locality in Anatolia, the results from the Çorakyerler specimens are really critical. These specimens are also in extremely important for the systematic description of Turolian forms of the genus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
