Descriptive catalogue of large ape dento-gnathic remains from the early and middle Miocene of Napak, Uganda : 2010-2020 collections
Résumé
Between 2010 and 2020, abundant dentognathic remains of large apes were collected at Napak, Uganda. The Iriri Member (basal Miocene) yielded its first fossil ape specimens from the lowermost beds of the volcano-sedimentary succession in 2014 (assigned to Ugandapithecus legetetensis and Ugandapithecus major), the Napak Member (basal Miocene) yielded many specimens of the same two species while the younger strata attributed to the Akisim Member (middle Miocene) yielded two specimens of large ape which accord in dimensions and morphology with Afropithecus turkanensis.
