Muroid Rodent Biochronology of the Neogene and Quaternary in Europe

  • Chapter
European Neogene Mammal Chronology

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 180))

Abstract

The mammalian biochronology of the continental Neogene and Quaternary in Europe has made remarkable advances. The present state of knowledge was discussed at the symposium on “European Neogene Mammal Chronology” at Schloβ; Reisensburg, May 1988. Investigations of fossil rodents have yielded important contributions to the biochronology of the late Cenozoic in Europe. This is due to the rapid evolution of many rodents providing short-ranged species that become characteristic index fossils. In addition, the analysis of evolutionary trends within several rodent lineages has yielded important biochronologic time markers such as the Promimomys-Mimomys-Arvicola lineage.
