Hiramaki Animal Group

Japanese: 平牧動物群 - ひらまきどうぶつぐん
Hiramaki Animal Group
This is a representative group of fossil mammals from the Miocene in Japan, and is represented by the terrestrial mammals found in the Hiramaki Formation in the Kani and Toki regions of Gifu Prefecture. Its members include the Anectensis elephant, the Hiramaki horse, the ancient tapir, the crab rhinoceros, the lion deer, and the hippopotamus-like Brachiodus. It is considered to be of southern origin because it is accompanied by the temperate Daijima-type plant community, and is distinguished from the Togari fauna of the late Miocene, which was considered to be of "northern origin" to Desmostylus and cetaceans (Takai Fuyuji, 1939).
