Abstract :
A left horn core of Sivaceros gradiens Pilgrim 1937 from Dhok Bun Amir Khatoon in the Lower Siwaliks of Pakistan was recovered, identified, and compared. Earlier specimens of S. gradiens excavated from the Lower Siwaliks of Pakistan were difficult to date. Conversely, the new material of S. gradiens from the Lower Siwaliks of Dhok Bun Amir Khatoon suggests an early Middle Miocene age (lower Chinji) for this species.
