Abstract

A left mandibular fragment bearing M–M recovered from the mudstones underlying an Upper Siwalik bentonitised tuff exposed 0.375 km NW of Barakhetar village, Jammu district, Jammu and Kashmir (state), India, is described here. The new specimen represents the first mandibular fragment of fossil Golunda with all three molars in situ. Based on crown morphology of the molars, it is tentatively referred to Golunda kelleri Jacobs, 1978, possibly representing a lineage distinct from G. ellioti ancestry.
