Özet:

Anatolia has become an important corridor for mammals as well as an important living space with its present state of being. This is an important example of the fact that the fossil finds are quite large despite the lack of studies. In fact, although a few localities were known for the first time in Anatolia, the first systematic studies were carried out during the "Study of Turkey's Lignite Resources", a collaboration of the MTA and the German Lignite Research Institute. Some of the identified localities were excavated in the form of rescue excavations and serious systematic excavations were carried out. Some of the identified localities were excavated in the form of rescue excavations and in some others, serious systematic excavations were carried out. But there is a serious potential that continues to disappear behind the concrete speed even though the excavations have been done. Despite the fact that more than 450 mammal fossil beds have been discovered in studies carried out to reveal the palaeomammals fossil potential of Turkey, new localities are added to this list every year as more studies are made. This study is aimed at gathering the locals of previous fossil catalog studies together.
