title: New skull of Megantereon inexpectatus (Carnivora: Machairodontinae) and its implications on evolution of Megantereon in North China
abstract: Abstract Megantereon is an iconic sabertoothed cat known from the Quaternary deposits of the Old World, being its evolutionary scenario and phylogenetic relationships hotly debated the last decades. Several authors proposed that there is only one species, i.e. M. cultridens , or two species, plus M. whitei in Eurasia and Africa of Pleistocene, while some authors proposed multiple species present. Here we describe a mostly complete cranium and several fragmented mandibular fragments of a very lar
