About This Book

A comprehensive survey compiles Pleistocene geology and vertebrate fossil records from eastern North America, outlining the epoch's limits and subdivisions, glacial and interglacial stages, paleogeographic connections, and patterns of uplift. It inventories occurrences of marine mammals, pinnipeds, xenarthrans, proboscideans, horses, tapirs, peccaries, camels, cervids, bison, giant beavers and other mammals, organized by state and province, and illustrates distributions with maps, plates, and stratigraphic sections. Geological context and locality descriptions support discussions of faunal origins, evolution, extinction, and correlations of coastal terraces and glacial deposits across the region.
