Abstract :

One of Hipparion species which has complete characters of cranium and maxillary with teeth found during excavation is H.primignium. Since this sample is the only complete one in the world, (of course vvithout mandible) with special species characters we can call it Homeotype. Because of fınding this species, pyroclastic sediments of Maragheh would be dated upper Astracian, so Maragheh informal formation which in the past was thought to be as old as vallencian- Trulain, seems a bit older.Because the mentioned samples were also found in Samus and Pikermi in Greece, so we can say these two regions have vertebrate familiarities in fossils fauna and other characters like paleogeography, biochronology and biogeography in late Miocene- early Pliocene.
