Palaeoreas was a genus of Miocene bovid from Europe.

Geographic range

Palaeoreas lindermayeri fossils have been found in Bulgaria^[2] and Greece.^[3]

Palaeoecology

Based on fossils from Pikermi and Samos, P. lindermayeri is believed to have had a browsing feeding style.^[4] However, dental wear patterns on P. lindermayeri remains from northern Greece instead show it to have been a variable grazer or mixed feeder.^[5]
