摘要：

In Northern Chad, the site of Kolle in the Djourab erg has yielded a vertebrate fauna including 21 species, 14 of which are Mammals. This fauna provides evidence of a mosaic of environments: fresh-water, woodlands, grasslands. In spite of possible taphonomic or collecting bins, and of some endemicity, this fauna allows us to propose an age in the range 5-4 My. (C) Academie des sciences/Elsevier, Paris.
