The fossil site Dhok Bun Ameer Khatoon (DBAK) is located 35 km southeast from Chakwal district, Punjab, Pakistan. It has yielded a significant amount of fossil artiodactyls including five families: Bovidae, Tragulidae, Suidae, Giraffidae, and Anthracotheriidae. This site principally exposes Middle Miocene strata that have been dated approximately as 14.2–11.63 Mya. A detailed study was carried out on the fossils found at DBAK and 29 specimens have been described herein. The collection comprises isolated upper and lower teeth and fragments of mandibular ramii. Gazella lydekkeri, Elachistoceras khauristanensis, Dorcatherium majus, Listriodon pentapotamiae, Giraffokeryx punjabiensis, Giraffa priscilla, and Merycopotamus nanus have been described in this article. The newly discovered material is productive to understand the fauna of this Middle Miocene locality and it enhances our knowledge about the described species. Merycopotamus nanus have been reported for the first time from this locality. Palaeoenvironmental data indicates that the Miocene climate of Pakistan was most likely to be monsoonal. All the feeding habits and distribution of those animals suggested the presence of abundant forests, herbaceous, grassy, and bushy vegetation in the DBAK and its surroundings.

巴基斯坦旁遮普邦Chakwal中新世中新沉积的新菊苣化石

化石遗址Dhok Bun Ameer Khatoon（DBAK）位于巴基斯坦旁遮普邦Chakwal区东南35公里处。它产生了大量的化石类动植物基，包括五个科：牛科，虎眼科，Su科，吉拉菲科和炭疽科。该地点主要暴露了中新世中层，其年代大约为14.2-11.63 Mya。对在DBAK上发现的化石进行了详细的研究，这里描述了29个标本。该集合包括孤立的上下牙齿和下颌man骨的碎片。羚羊lydekkeri，Elachistoceras khauristanensis，Dorcatherium草，Listriodon pentapotamiae，Giraffokeryx punjabiensis，这篇文章中已经描述了Giraffa priscilla和Merycopotamus nanus。新发现的材料有助于理解中新世中期的动物区系，并增强了我们对所描述物种的了解。首次从该地区报道了南极红藻。古环境数据表明，巴基斯坦的中新世气候最有可能是季风性的。这些动物的所有进食习惯和分布情况表明，DBAK及其周围地区存在丰富的森林，草本，草木和茂密的植被。
