概要

論文の詳細を見る
Many fossil cervids were found during the sixth and seventh excavations along the shores of Lake Nojiri. Most of the materials were from Yabe's giant deer (Sinomegaceros yabei SHIKAMA), and a few were from the Sika deer (Cervus sp. cf. nippon TEMMINCK). The fossils of Yabe's giant deer newly obtained were as follows: a right lower central incisor, palmate antlers with long points, left maxillary bone around the eye socket, jawbone with dentition, right tibia, tarsal bones, etc. A molar, premolar and right calcaneum of the Sika deer were discovered for the first time. Judging from the point size of the Yabe's giant deer, it is possible that there may have been a huge palmate antler among Nojiri-ko specimens.
