Le gisement de vertébrés pliocènes de Çalta, Ankara, Turquie. 9. Cervidae et Giraffidae

The deer from Çalta is a true cervine, which looks little different from Cervus perrieri of the European lower Villafranchian. The limb bones of the giraffid, which is close to Giraffa jumae of the African Plio-Pleistocene, are already similar to those of the recent giraffe. Both species suggest a rather late Pliocene age.
