Palaeoecology and Palaeoenvironments of Late Cenozoic Mammals : tributes to the career of C.S. (Rufus) Churcher.

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

The papers focus on late Cenozoic mammals in North America and Africa and provide both site-specific descriptions of faunas and their associated geological contexts, and more general syntheses of regional palaeoenvironments and biogeography.
