Species

Gallogoral is an extinct genus of caprine that lived in Europe during the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs.

Geographic range

The species G. meneghinii has been found in France, Italy, Greece, and Georgia.

Palaeoecology

Fossil remains from Coste San Giacomo, dating to about 2.1 Ma, show G. meneghinii to have been a mixed feeder. However, remains from the site of Olivola dating to around the time of the Gelasian-Calabrian transition instead suggest that G. meneghinii was a grazer, as evidenced by its dental wear showing signs of heavy consumption of grass, grit, and dust. It had a preference for mountainous habitats.
