TABLE 1. Measurements (in mm) of the dental material of taxa discussed in the text from the different fossil localities of the Kızılırmak. The values in brackets designate the width of the trigonid of lower molars, the non-bracketed values the maximal width. The asterisk designates estimated values when material is slightly broken or heavily worn/digested.

TABLE 3. Comparison of body mass estimations of taxa documented by an astragalus using the astragalus size (W-astragalus) from the method developed in Martinez and Sudre (1995), and comparisons with the mass range of the extant Tragulus kanchil (from Meijaard and Groves, 2004). The estimated body mass of I. parvus from Benara was obtained by using the m1 area (Wm1) of the type specimen (Gabunia, 1964, p. 182) and the method of Legendre (1989).
