详细

A lower jaw fragment of the mole Mongoloscapter zhegalloi Lopatin, 2002 (Talpidae, Talpinae) from the Late Oligocene Tsakhir-Ula locality (Mongolia, Ömnögovi Aimag) is described. This is the second record of Mongoloscapter. This genus is characterized by a lower molar structure that suggests that it should be assigned to the tribe Scaptonychini.
