The primitive Ursoid Cephalogale: Ursid or Hemicyonid?

[edit]

I thought that the exact position of Cephalogale within the Ursoidea is not completely resolved and it could belong to either the Ursidae or the Hemicyonidae? Although I admit this statement is weak without a source - I will look for a source immediately. DaMatriX (talk) 00:42, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

here, the genus Cephalogale was assigned to subfamily Hemicyoninae; 2 and 3 follow the same line. Burmeister (talk) 14:12, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Currently, the Hemicyonidae are treated as a family on Wikipedia. If you believe this may not be correct, please discuss this on the Hemicyonidae talkpage. DaMatriX (talk) 18:41, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cephalogale meschethense?

[edit]

Is the species that I heard called C. meschethense valid or not? 161.38.238.45 (talk) 05:37, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to this paper, it is a valid species from the Oligocene of Georgia the country. Mr Fink (talk) 06:09, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I wonder how big it was. 161.38.238.45 (talk) 17:28, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Probably about the size of a small dog, but, do remember that the talkpages are for discussing how to improve their corresponding articles, and are WP:NOTAFORUM for idle discussion. Mr Fink (talk) 20:31, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
