Dabbling Ducks (Aves: Anatidae) from the Middle Miocene of Mongolia
Paleontological Journal. V. 46(4): 421-429.
Аннотация
A new genus and two new species of ducks (Aves: Anatidae) from the Middle Miocene Sharga
locality are described. Mioquerquedula minutissima gen. et sp. nov. is a very small duck. Anas velox Milne
Edwards, 1868 from the Middle Miocene of France is transferred to the genus Mioquerquedula. Aix praeclara
sp. nov. described here is the oldest record of the modern genus Aix. A revision of the previously described
small duck Anas soporata Kurochkin, 1976 shows that only the specimens from the Sharga locality should be
referred to this species. The status of other small ducks from the Neogene of Europe and North America is
discussed. The diversity of herbivorous and diving ducks in the Sharga locality indicates that Miocene
Shargyn Govi Lake was rich in food resources.
