Abstract

In Mongolia, fossil mammals are known from the Upper Jurassic, Lower and Upper Cretaceous, all series of the Paleogene and Neogene, as well as the Pleistocene. Over 335 new species and more than 185 new genera of fossil mammals (not including synonyms) were described from Mongolia up to the end of 2019. The most important results in the last hundred years of research, that most strongly influenced the development of mammal paleontology, have been: (1) the discoveries of extremely rich Paleogene and Neogene localities containing numerous fossils of various mammals by the Central Asian Expedition of the American Museum of Natural History (CAE AMNH) in 1922–1930, and subsequent expeditions; (2) the discovery and further study of the Late Cretaceous mammalian fauna by the CAE AMNH and the Mongolian Paleontological Expedition of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (1946–1949), the Polish-Mongolian Paleontological Expedition (1963–1971) and the Joint Soviet-Mongolian (Russian-Mongolian) Paleontological Expedition (JSMPE, JRMPE); (3) the discovery by the JSMPE in the late 1960s–early 1970s of the Early Cretaceous Höövör mammalian fauna, at the time of its discovery the most diverse and richest in Asia; (4) the obtaining by the JSMPE of a large amount of data on the early Paleogene, the most important stage in the evolution of mammals; (5) detailed biostratigraphic study of the Oligocene and the Lower Miocene mammal fossils of the Valley of Lakes, as part of the Austrian-Mongolian project (1995–2018).
