• MSNUP I17602 represents one of the few monodontid skull of early Pliocene age worldwide. • This discovery testifies the presence of a monodontid taxon in the Mediterranean Basin. • The fossil skull shares several characters with the skull of both extant monodontid genera. • Past monodontid species seems to have been adapted to subtropical climate conditions.
