    We present in this paper an overview of the current knowledge on the fossil vertebrate faunas of the Rome area. We start with a brief history of the discoveries of fossil vertebrates of the area, followed by an introduction on the Plio-Pleistocene biochronologic framework used by Italian paleontologists studying continental organisms. We eventually describe the succession of faunal assemblages. The few Villafranchian remains are followed by the many faunas belonging to the Galerian and by the even more numerous faunas of the Aurelian. A list of the main LFAs (Local Faunal Assemblages) of the Rome area and their composition, follows in the Appendix

    In this paper the Cenozoic Anatolian fossil faunas of small mammals and their palaeobiogeographical distribution are considered. Micromammalian fossil Anatolian faunas of Paleogene age are rare and limited to the Oligocene whilst the Neogene and Quaternary assemblages are rather abundant. Three faunal elements are always present (from the Oligocene to the Holocene) in these assemblages: European, Asian, and Endemic. The percentage of these elements changes with the age of the assemblage. During the Middle Miocene and the Pliocene a few elements of African affinities are also present
