Early Miocene paleobiology in Patagonia : high-latitude paleocommunities of the Santa Cruz Formation /

"Coastal exposures of the Santa Cruz Formation in southern Patagonia have been a fertile ground for recovery of Early Miocene vertebrates for more than 100 years. This volume presents a comprehensive compilation of important mammalian groups which continue to thrive today. It includes the most...
