Neogene/Quaternary deposits along the east shoreline of Thermaikos Gulf (Thessaloniki, Greece) occasionally yielded several isolated fossil vertebrate remains. A proboscidean tusk and an equid astragalus have been recently unearthed from a new palaeontological spot near Epanomí. The finds are referred to Mammuthus cf. meridionalis and Equus sp. On the basis of biochronological data the deposits are dated as latest Pliocene.
