Two ancient wolf populations contributed to origin of modern dogs
Oxytropidoceras posted a topic in Fossil News
Two ancient wolf populations which evolved into man’s best friend. DNA study closes in on solving the mystery of where and when dogs were domesticated. Imma Perfetto, Cosmos. The open access paper is: Bergström, A., Stanton, D.W., Taron, U.H., Frantz, L., Sinding, M.H.S., Ersmark, E., Pfrengle, S., Cassatt-Johnstone, M., Lebrasseur, O., Girdland-Flink, L. and Fernandes, D.M., 2022. Grey wolf genomic history reveals a dual ancestry of dogs. Nature, 607(7918), pp.313-320. Another article is: Shrinking bodies and shrinking brains The transition from ancient wolves to small dogs was a simple one, but domestication may have whittled away cats’ brains.

In a beach near Galaxidi, in Greece, i found some grey fossils on rocks with layers, just like the stromatolites. I believe that these fossils are members of Francevillian biota, witch includes the earliest multicellular organisms that was found in Gabon. These are the reasons that make me think that these fossils are from the Francevillian biota; 1.The fossils have got the same thickness with these that were found in Gabon; 6 mm. 2. In the past, one part of Eurasia (probably Greece) was next to Gabon in the Paleoproterozoic era, when the Francevillian biota appeared. 3. Its rock has got the same color with these from Gabon. Probably are made from the same minerals. 4. The fossils have got the same forms with the members of the Francevillian biota.

I enquired a unidentified tooth from an oligocene sandstone quarry in Eurasia, im kind of convinced its a entelodont tooth,doesn't look like a crocuta one... (i will find it and show you the file)

Hello. First I wanted to thank everyone who responded to me regarding the "bear-dog-Hyena" pictures. I have since identified the specimen as Pachycrocuta brevirostris. So for those of you said "Hyena", you were correct. At first I though it might be a Dinocrocuta, however, areas of the skull simply did not match up. Anyways, I have attached pictures of what I am sure to be a Eurasian Cave Lion. I would like to know if these specimens are common since I may be in the position to purchase it. Any opinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
