The results of the morphological and quantitative analyses of the four suids from the Hadar Formation (Afar, Ethiopia) are presented in this study. The Hadar (>3.4—about 3.18 Ma) and Kanapoi (4.5–4.0 Ma, Kenya) Notochoerus kanamensis (=Nyanzachoerus kanamensis) cheek teeth have …

The deposits of the Hadar Formation preserve a continuous record of hominin habitats and environmental change from ca. 3.45 Ma until a regional disconformity at ca. 2.9 Ma. At Hadar, strata below the disconformity are composed of fluvial sands and well-developed claystone paleos…
