Abstract
AbstractA mammutid is described here for the first time from the Late Miocene (MN12 equivalent) deposits of Abkhareh village, Varzeghan region in the northwestern part of Iran. It is identified as “Mammut” cf.obliquelophusand is represented by an isolated and moderately worn upper third molar with zygodont crown pattern as typical of mammutids. In addition, two upper incisors found associated with the molar and probably belonging to the same individual are assigned asMammut. The studied material expands the geographic distribution of“Mammut” obliquelophusinto western Asia.
