mikeymig Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Bears appear in the middle Oligocene in Europe. Ursavus from the middle Miocene is close to the ancestry to modern bears. I have seen early bear skulls from the Miocene of China and Beardogs are a completely different animal in case you didn't know. I hope this answered your question. Mikey 1 Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichW9090 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 To confuse you even more, there are the bear-dogs (Amphicyonidae) which lived in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America from the Middle Eocene to the Pleistocene (but not the full range in all 4 places) as well as the dog-bears (Hemicyoninae) which lived in North America, Europe, Asia and Africa in the Oligocene and Miocene. The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Eklund Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 How about throwing in a Pseudocynodictus from the Oligocene, White River Formation for extra measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichW9090 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Pseudocynodictis is no longer valid - it has been synonymized with Hesperocyon, a standard hesperocyonine canid. The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Eklund Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Pseudocynodictis is no longer valid - it has been synonymized with Hesperocyon, a standard hesperocyonine canid. But... it always was fun to pronounce and someone had a good imagination when they were using it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
