- Abstract
The Bavarian fissure filling Petersbuch 28 (Lower Miocene, MN 3/4) yielded a large assemblage of the dimylid Plesiodimylus aff. chantrei. This assemblage includes molars of three incompletely differentiated morphotypes, resembling Plesiodimylus huerzeleri, P. chantrei and P. bavaricus, respectively. This pattern is interpreted as due to ecological reasons and a small time averaging. The lower molars do not show such differentiation. Next to Plesiodimylus, Chainodus intercedens was found, but in far smaller numbers.
