In 1990, a new late Miocene locality named "Nikiti 1" or NKT, was discovered near the village of Nikiti (Chalkidiki, Macedonia, Greece) about 100 km east of Thessaloniki City. The locality is situated in the Nikiti Formation, which consists of yellowish sands, gravels and pebbles and has been dated to late Vallesian-early Turolian. Among the initially collected fossils there is a mandible of a hominoid primate, which is described, compared, and attributed to Ouranopithecus macedoniensis. A short review of the species in Macedonia and its phylogenetic relationships are also given.
1990年,在塞萨洛尼基市以东约100公里处的尼基蒂村(希腊马其顿哈尔基季基)附近发现了一个新的晚中新世地点,名为“尼基蒂1号”或NKT。该地点位于尼基蒂组,由淡黄色沙子、砾石和卵石组成,年代测定为瓦勒西安晚期-图罗利安早期。在最初收集的化石中有一具类人猿灵长类动物的下颌骨,对其进行了描述、比较,并归属于马其顿人猿。文中还简要回顾了马其顿的该物种及其系统发育关系。
