- Abstract
We describe here a suid molar originating from the Late Miocene Dhok Pathan type locality (Chakwal, Punjab, Pakistan) of Dhok Pathan Formation, Middle Siwaliks, Northern Pakistan. The molar belongs to the large sized Pliocene suid Tetraconodon. The specimen, which is attributed to a tetraconodon, reliably matches with T. magnus, a rare taxon previously found in the Pliocene of the Siwaliks. The presence of this species in the Late Miocene of the Dhok Pathan type locality represents the oldest record in the Siwaliks.
