Abstract

Five castorid teeth from the (early) middle Miocene locality Gracanica in Bosnia-Herzegovina, probably originating from lower lacustrine lignite-rich deposits, were available for study. These teeth from the upper jaw are similar in preservation, wear stage, and size and may represent only one single individual. Due to their size and morphology (mainly state of hypsodonty and closing hypostria in P4), they are referred to Stenefiber depereti. Since a semiaquatic lifestyle is assumed for Steneofiber, it may be assumed that the teeth are of autochthonous origin.
