Hi guys. I'm back after more than 14 months and with more questions.
If there is a paleontologist on board, I can't ask for any better. If not, then please redirect me to sources where I can find the answers for my queries.
I seek to ask general paleobiology information about Nimravids and Barbourofelids right now. I have researched the internet about the origin of Nimravids and I get contradictory results. Whereas most sources claim that this ancient group originated in North America, there is THIS ARTICLE stating that the family most probably originated in Europe.
The same site (bioone.org) claims in THIS ARTICLE that the oldest nimravid fossils have been discovered in Thailand (Asia). THIS ARTICLE from another weisite (researchgate) also chants the same claim that the oldest Nimravid fossils belong to Thailand. I don't know if either of these articles is a spin of the other one
Contrary to all this, wikipedia implies that this family originated in North America.
Any guidance?
