摘要: The fossil fallow deer Dama dama geiselana Pfeiffer from Neumark-Nord (Saxony-Anhalt, Germany) is upgraded to species level and discussed within the current taxonomy of recent deer. Typical antler skeletal characteristics are in comparison with dama, mesopotamica clactoniana, nestii rhenana. phylogenetic relationship can be traced back Late Pliocene distinguished morphologically Cervus elaphus, nippon Axis axis. Middle Pleistocene finds Germany presented context Mediterranean region Great Britain. differences morphology bone dimensions West German North-East support hypothesis different immigration channels, on one hand eastern along Danube other west Rhone Rhine. In Pleistocene, considered as typical Mediterranean, while west, clactoniana widespread. supported by record Edesheim. Conversely, probably influenced East populations. Special tooth occur lower frequency mesopotamica. Bronze Age, Kastanas (Macedonia) shares characteristics, high specific features scapula, astragalus geiselana. A relict population reached Eastern at beginning last cold stage.
