Abstract: Anatolia plays an important role as a bridge between Africa, Europe and Asia for the evolutionary course ofvertebrates. It is potentially rich in fossil bearing deposits which would greatly serve to contribute the understandingof vertebrate evolution. However, paleontological research conducted in Turkey is mainly focused on Paleogeneand Miocene deposits. Although it is obvious that any studies of mammalian paleontology dealing with any intervalof Cenozoic in Anatolia is worthful because of its potential, one must point out that Quaternary mammalian faunais still not well known when compared to European equivalent. In this manner, it is not difficult to estimate howmicromammalian paleontology is less dealt.During the 70th Geological Congress of Turkey, a special session was dedicated to diverse trends of Quaternaryresearch where many topics are discussed within the scope of a veritable “state of the art” and perspective, includingmicromammal paleontology. The present study deals with some general definitions and fields of applicationof micromammals (mostly rodents) besides a short history of vertebrate paleontology in Turkey as well as briefsummaries of all conducted or ongoing studies on the Quaternary micromammalian fauna in Anatolia. The latter isalso displayed on a location map providing localities and relevant references. The main motivation of this study is tounderline the potential contribution of micromammal paleontology to Quaternary research in Turkey and to providea perspective, despite of encountered problems.
