Out of Pikermi: The Occurrence of Bohlinia in the Late Miocene of the Central Mediterranean

During the Late Miocene, Giraffidae of the genus Bohlinia were widespread in the Greco-Iranian bioprovince (Pikermian biome), while the occurrence in Africa (Chad) was disproven. The fossils of Bohlinia cf. attica described and compared here come from the Late Miocene of Cessaniti (southern Italy), associated with another giraffid, Samotherium cf. boissieri, and the large mammals Stegotetrabelodon syrticus, Tragoportax cf. rugosifrons, cf. Ceratotherium advenientis, and an undetermined Anthracotherid. In terms of paleogeography, the association should be related to the expansion of Pikermian species out of the Greco-Iranian bioprovince and calls for more in-depth considerations. Pikermian giraffids, and Bohlinia in particular, play an important role in understanding the paleoenvironmental and paleogeographical contexts in the Central Mediterranean, an area undergoing major geological changes.
