Journal Title: Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES) - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
The fossil teeth of Listriodon pentapotamiae and Deinotherium pentapotamiae have been collected from Dhok Bun Ameer Khatoon, Chinji and Lava; district Chakwal, Punjab, Pakistan. These sites belong to Lower Siwaliks, Chinji Formation. The specimens include upper molars of Listriodon and an isolated upper molar of Deinotherium which was discovered from the locality of Dhok Bun Ameer Khatoon for the very first time, but not unknown from the Chinji Formation. The type of the teeth and the habit of feeding are interlinked. The striking similarity has been observed among the molars of Listriodon and Deinotherium.
