Broiliana nobilis

Mammals

Broiliana nobilis is an extinct species of procyonid, a member of the raccoon family, and the species Dehm described in 1950 when he named the genus Broiliana. The Paleobiology Database records two fossil occurrences, in Bavaria in Germany and in the department of Indre-et-Loire in France, and dates the species from the Burdigalian to the Langhian stages of the Miocene, between about 20 and 13.8 million years ago. Its main reference is Morlo's 1996 study of carnivorans from the Lower Miocene of the Mainz Basin. The Wikipedia article on the family lists Broiliana in the extinct subfamily Broilianinae, a group of European procyonids with no living relatives.
