dc.description.abstract | The primary purpose of the work described here was to complete the study of a late Tertiary sequence of faunas in the Northern Great Basin. Shotwell (1968) reported on the late Miocene faunas of the region. The subsequent early, middle and late Pliocene faunas are described here. Samples representing a diversity of environmental situations were sought with particular emphasis on the recovery of quantitatively useful data for paleoecological studies. Since many new fossil mammals were encountered in both the Miocene and Pliocene excavations it seemed best to describe the faunas first to provide the new taxonomic information and make it available rather than wait on the more involved paleoecological analysis for which it was originally collected. | en_US |
