NEW SUID REMAINS OF GENUS HYOTHERIUM FROM THE SIWALIKS OF PAKISTAN

Abstract

The present new Suid dental material was collected from the Siwalik hills of Pakistan, located in Punjab and extending into Northern Pakistan. The town of Chinji, located in the province of Punjab in Pakistan's Chakwal region, has been given the status of "type locality" for these specimens. These specimens are members of the diminutive suid genus known as Hyotherium, unique to the Siwalik Mountains. Both of the specimens that have been studied shed a great deal of light on the fundamental dentition characteristic of this genus. This is the case in the present study, as both specimens are identical and quite simple in their morphology
