Pikermi (Greek: Πικέρμι) is a suburb of Athens and a former community of East Attica regional unit, Greece.
[3] Pikermi is situated at the northern edge of the Mesogaia plain, south of the Penteliko Mountain.
Pikermi features a paleontological site which has more than forty mammal species from the late Miocene (8 million years ago).
The locality itself is used as the archetypal example of a 'Pikermian' chronofauna that existed from Afghanistan to the Balkans during the Late Miocene.
[4] Similar fossils are found on Samos Island in Greece and Shanxi China.
