Eucyon marinae Spassov & Rook, 2007
TYPE LOCALITY. — Muhor-Erig ( Mongolia).
AGE. — Late Pliocene.
This species of Eucyon has been described from a geological context in Central Mongolia suggesting a late Ruscinian age, although, an early Villafranchian age cannot be ruled out (Spassov & Rook 2007). Eucyon marinae is a relatively large species, comparable in size with E. davisi ( Merriam, 1911) and E. monticinensis ( Rook, 1992) but with slender and gracile mandible with elongate rostral portion and very long premolar row.
