Abstract
The Pleistocene sediments in the east of Iran belong mostly to extinct herbivores of Order Pressiodactyle and Arssiodactyle. The tooth remains of Equidae from Pressiodactyle, bones and tooth remains of domestic and wild herbivores such as Rhinoceros that some of which are extinct today have been found. The existence of Rhinoceros teeth in the study area, Maragheh sediments, Linxin basin in China and other areas indicate that after the extinction of fauna in Maragheh, a similar fauna was formed and the climate in the Late Cenozoic in Mediterranean basin, Western and Central Eurasia were warm and humid.
