A possible new amphicyonid from the Miocene of the Linxia Basin
Here we report a new form of amphicyonid from an uncertain locality in the Linxia Basin.The derived dental traits imply an affinity to Magericyon,previously known from Europe and possibly southern Asia.The specimen suggests a higher diversity of amphicyonids in eastern Asia than previously thought,and more discovery with stratigraphic information will be needed to elucidate the evolution of Amphicyonidae in eastern Asia.
