Abstract

Novel findings of fossil remains of the extinct artiodactyl Soergel’s ox, as well as some findings that were not analyzed previously, are presented in the article. Soergelia remains are extremely rare; therefore, the species range of these animals remains uncharacterized by now and the taxonomic positions of some findings are not clear. Analysis of the new material extends the knowledge on the species range and the limits of morphological variation of the Soergel’s ox and allowed a more precise assessment of the taxonomic position of the findings from Yakutia.
