Antilopini gen. et sp. indet.
Referred material. DNM 135, partial right M 1 or M 2.
Description. DNM 135 is a partial right first or second lower molar. The tooth preserves a heavily worn crown and a partial root.
Discussion. The size of the specimen is consistent with a Class II bovid ( Brain, 1974) and the preserved morphology (flat lingual enamel surface, rounded buccal lophids) is consistent with an antilopin. Both Gazella and Antidorcas have been previously described from the Drimolen Main Quarry deposits ( Keyser et al., 2000).
