Soergelia is a genus of extinct ovibovine caprine that was common across Europe, North America and Asia in the Pleistocene epoch.[2][3][4]
Species include:
- †Soergelia brigittae Kostopolous, 1997[5]
- †Soergelia minor Moyà-Solà, 1987. Found in Italy.
- †Soergelia intermedia Crégut-Bonnoure & Dimitrijević, 2006. Found in Macedonia.[6]
- †Soergelia elisabethae Schaub, 1951[1]
- †Soergelia mayfieldi Troxell, 1915. Found in Texas.[7][8]
Palaeoecology
[edit]δ13C, δ15N, and δ18O measurements from S. minor at the Early Pleistocene site of Venta Micena in southeastern Spain reveal it to have been a mixed feeder.[9]
