Member, but it is also known from the Pelletal Phosphorite Member and is apparently not confined to deposits of a particular type. The 'E' Quarry hyaenids appear to be unique in providing evidence of a progression in an evolutionary sense from Eurasian late Miocene hyaenids, while at the same time maintaining the pattern of their representation. In other words, there is apparently no other Old World fauna of comparable age which includes a variety of hyaenid species which are reminiscent of the Eurasian late Miocene. In order to justify this observation recorded Eurasian late Miocene taxa are compared and contrasted with those from Langebaanweg. THE HYAENA GROUP Plioviverrops orbignyi is the smallest of the Eurasian species and one which evidently does not have a counterpart at Langebaanweg. This species may have become extinct without issue, although Thenius (1966) suggested it as a possible ancestor of Proteles cristatus, a species whose fossil history is largely unknown except for a Pleistocene species from the Transvaal (Hendey 1974&)..
