COLUBRIDAE gen. et sp. indet. B
LOCALITY AND AGE. — Pul-E Charkhi, Kabul basin, Afghanistan, earliest Pliocene, early Ruscinian, MN 13/14.
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Three fragmentary vertebrae (AFG 1678).
COMMENTS
The vertebrae are represented by centra. On one of them, the haemal keel is well-preserved; its elongate, spatulate shape suggests that this fragment of vertebra belongs to a colubrid snake. The two other fragments apparently belong to the same taxon.
