摘要以色列内盖夫地区Rotem和Yeroham盆地早中新世沉积中发现19个哺乳动物化石类群，其中2个为新种：gazella Negevensis(牛科)和cf.哈西水母(Creodonta，Hyaenodontidae)这是南黎凡特地区唯一的早中新世脊椎动物记录，有许多典型的非洲分类群，包括：Prodeintherium sp.，cf.Canhumeryx syrtensis，Dorcatherium cf.D.Pigotti，Dorcatherium cf.D.Chappuisi，Megapedetes cf.，短尾鳄属M.Teadactylus，Kenyalagomys sp.Pigotti和Lates sp.(Telebone)。由于Gebel Zelten(利比亚)、Gebel Moghara(埃及)、Rusinga、Songhor(和东非其他地区)、Bugti Hills(巴基斯坦)和Negev的准空间孤立，因此这些遗址的特有现象相对较高，反映了它们不同的环境，而不是异时性。因此，这些偏远和快速变化的地区之间的相似性主要是基于同种水平。
ABSTRACT The early Miocene deposits of the Rotem and Yeroham basins in the Negev district of Israel have yielded 19 taxa of fossil mammals, of which two are new species: Gazella negevensis (Bovidae) and cf. Anasinopa haasi (Creodonta, Hyaenodontidae). This is the only early Miocene record of vertebrates from the southern Levant, with many typically African taxa including: Prodeinotherium sp., cf. Canthumeryx syrtensis, Dorcatherium cf. D. pigotti, Dorcatherium cf. D. chappuisi, Megapedetes cf. M. pentadactylus, Kenyalagomys sp., Crocodylus cf. C. pigotti, and Lates sp. (Teleostei). Owing to a quasi-spatial isolation of Gebel Zelten (Libya), Gebel Moghara (Egypt), Rusinga, Songhor (and others in East Africa), Bugti Hills (Pakistan) and the Negev, for which a general contemporaneity is suggested, endemism in these sites is relatively high, reflecting their different environments rather than heterochroneity. Hence similarity between these remote and rapidly changing regions was mainly based on congeneric lev...
