Notes on fish, reptilian, and several fragmentary mammalian dental fossils from the Pondaung Formation

Abstract

We provide photos of fish and reptile fossils and several fragmentary mammalian dento-gnathic fossils from the Eocene Pondaung Formation of Myanmar with description of primate-like dento-gnathic fossils. The figured fossils consist of four specimens of fishes, 11 specimens of reptiles (two vertebral specimens of snake-like reptile, six lower jaws of agamid lizard, three jaws of indeterminate lizard, and two teeth of crocodile), and 42 specimens of mammals (24 fragmentary fossils, 12 fossils of the MGW specimens, three unreported primate-like fossils, and three previously reported primate fossils). Although these figured specimens are fragmentary, they add new evidence on the Pondaung vertebrate fauna, contributing to the understanding of the fauna.
