<p style="text-align: justify;"> Le genre Diplocynodon est largement représenté en Europe depuis l'Eocène moyen et jusqu'au
Miocène moyen (1). </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br />Le genre disparaît de l'Europe centrale et de la France (Sansan) durant MN6 - (13.2 Ma) (2), mais on le
retrouve sur la péninsule ibérique et dans le sud-est de l'Europe jusqu'au début du Miocène supérieur - MN9 - (de 9,7 à 11,1 Ma).
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br />Il est donc évident que, durant ces 4 Ma qui sépare MN6 de MN9, <em>Diplocynodon</em> a
migré géographiquement vers le Sud pour des raisons qui sont probablement liées à la brusque chute de
température enregistrée à la fin de la première moitié du Serravalien sous les paléolatitudes qui lui étaient
devenues défavorables(3). </p>
