Abstract The Miocene epoch (23.03–5.33 Ma) was a time interval of global warmth, relative
to today. Continental configurations and mountain topography transitioned toward modern …

A 617 site palaeobotanical dataset for the Mid to Late Miocene is presented. This dataset is
internally consistent and provides a comprehensive overview of vegetational change from …

Understanding the development of grassland ecosystems is critical for understanding the
evolution of their associated vertebrate faunas. We focus on the central and southern …

This chapter is an attempt to summarize the Tertiary history of the vegetation of North
America as a context for mammalian evolution. From the point of view of a mammalian …

The 18 my history of the subfamily Equinae (exclusive of Archaeohippus and “Parahippus”)
in North America consisted of a 3-my radiation phase, a 9-my steady-state diversity phase …

The Cenozoic succession of continental mammalian faunas reflects the climatic shift from a"
greenhouse" to an" icehouse" world. In midcontinental North America, where the most nearly …

The origin and spread of grass-dominated biomes in North America have traditionally been
inferred from indirect lines of evidence, most importantly the evolution of ungulates with high …

The horse subfamily Equinae underwent a major radiation during the Miocene in North
America, diversifying from one species, Parahippus leonensis, to 70 species. This radiation …

This paper presents a new means of interpreting the distribution of taxa among taxonomic
lists. Traditionally,“similarity” indices have been used to compare lists, and “association” …

Quarrying in east-central Indiana has uncovered richly fossiliferous unconsolidated
sediment buried beneath Pleistocene glacial till. The fossiliferous layer is part of a …
