metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The Tagay vertebrate fauna (Olkhon Island, Lake Baikal, Russia) dated to the late
  Early Miocene yielded a diverse association of sciurine rodents, including flying
  squirrel Hylopetes sp., tree squirrels Sciurus cf. lii, Sciurus sp., and Blackia cf. miocaenica,
  and a numerically dominant small marmotine Miospermophilus debruijni. The
  presence of flying and tree squirrels indicates the presence of wooded biotopes.
  The record of Blackia is remarkably distant (more than 4000 km) from the nearest
  synchronous records in western Asia (Anatolia) and Eastern Europe thus implying a
  continuous distribution range of this genus stretching through the middle latitudes
  of the Holarctic and likely marking the continental belt of temperate forests in late
  Early Miocene. Marmotines of North American origin document direct faunal communication
  between temperate faunas of the Old and New Worlds at that time.
