| - The 1st mammalian remain ever found in New Caledonia is an upper tooth found by golddiggers in the Plio-Pleistocene terrace from the Diahot river. This tooth, given to the Museum national d'Histoire naturelle (Paris) in 1876, was determined as a rhinoceros tooth. Its detailed study shows that it belongs to Zygomaturus, a large marsupial diprotodontid genus. The Diahot tooth represents a new species of Zygomaturus, Z. diahotensis sp., nov. close to Z. trilobus from the Australian Pleistocene. That kinship suggests a Plio-Pleistocene land connection between Australia and New Caledonia; New Caledonia was supposed to be separated from Australia since the end of the Cretaceous, because of the total absence of indigenous mammals, fossil or Recent, in New Caledonia. The latest geological studies in the East Pacific do not contradict this hypothesis.
