Abstract: | Ursavus fossils have been known from over 20 Miocene localities in Europe. However, the records from other continents are very scanty and the materials are all very fragmentary (Ch. Frick, 1926, J. E. Storer, 1975 for North America and N. Schmidt-Kittler, 1976 for Turkey). The presence of the genus in China was first reported recently when Qi Guoqin (1984) described some teeth referred to Ursavus depereti from the famous Ramapithecus site of Lufeng, Yunnan Province. |
