ABSTRACT

New fossils of bovids were recovered from the outcrops of Hasnot village of the Dhok Pathan Formation in District Jhelum, Punjab, Pakistan. The fossil includes dental material which consists of upper premolars and molars. Based on morpho-metry, the specimens were assigned to Pachyportax latidens. The fossils provide an evidence for the existence of the large sized animals in Pakistan during the Late Miocene -Early Pliocene.
