Spirocerus kiakhtensis
2027820278The Pleistocene spiral horned antelope (Spirocerus (Boule & Chardin, 1928))
Order: Artiodactyla
Family: Bovidae
Dimensions: length - 3 m, height - 150 сm, weight - 300-560 kg
Temporal range: during the Pleistocene epoch ( Eurasia, 0.13 - 0.01 Ma)
Spirocerus was a large species of spiral horned antelopes that inhabited the central Asian Steppes and the southern portions of the mammoth steppe from the Early - Late Pleistocene of Eurasia.
The spiral horned antelope Spirocerus cf. wongi remains found in the Minusinsk depression for the first time.The find is the northernmost and one of the most western. This makes it possible to significantly expand the range of early representatives of the genus Spirocerus to the north and west and confirms the significant advance of the Central Asian fauna to the northwest in the Early and Early Middle Pleistocene.
