      abstract = {This 2-volume set provides a state-of-the-art study of the  fossil record and taxonomy of the main vertebrate groups  from Greece. Greece stands between 3 continents and its  vertebrate fossil record is of great importance for  paleontological and evolutionary studies in Europe, Asia  and Africa. Fossils from classic, world-famous localities  (e.g., Pikermi, Samos) form an essential part of the  collections of the most important museums in the world and  have been studied by numerous scientists. Recent  paleontological research led to the discovery and study of  numerous new sites. The volumes contain a taxonomic review  of all named and identified taxa, their taxonomic history  and current status, as well as historical, phylogenetic and  biogeographic information. Volume 2 contains a synopsis of  the fossil record and taxonomy of important groups of  mammals represented in the fossil record of Greece. The  volume starts with specific chapters on laurasiatherians  like insectivores and bats, moving on to the main part of  the book that deals with three of the most important fossil  groups in the country. The fossil record of even-toed  animals is summarized with chapters on bovids, cervids,  suoids, anthracotheres, hippos, giraffes, and tragulids.  The fossil record of odd-toed animals is presented with  special chapters on horses, tapirs, rhinos, and  chalicotheres. The last part of this volume deals with  meat-eating, carnivoran groups, like felids, viverrids,  hyaenas, canids, bears, ailurids, mephitids and mustelids.  The volume ends with a special chapter on insular endemic  mammals from the various islands of Greece.},
