A Glyptosaurine Lizard From The Eocene (Late Uintan) Of San Diego, California, And Implications For Glyptosaurine Evolution And Biogeography, David Moscato
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Glyptosaurinae is an extinct subfamily of lizards of the family Anguidae. Glyptosaurine lizards are known exclusively from the Paleogene of North America and Eurasia, reaching their peak of diversity and distribution in the Eocene. In North America these lizards are largely restricted to the intermontane basins along the Rocky Mountain range, with only sparse, indeterminately-identified skeletal elements known from outside of this region. Glyptosaurine lizards are split into two tribes: the monophyletic Glyptosaurini and paraphyletic “Melanosaurini”. Within Glyptosaurini, the most common and widespread genus is Glyptosaurus. In this study I describe a new specimen assignable to G. sylvestris, …
Recently Described Vulture One Of Several New Avian Species From The Ashfall Fossil Beds, Rick E. Otto
Recently Described Vulture One Of Several New Avian Species From The Ashfall Fossil Beds, Rick E. Otto
University of Nebraska State Museum: Programs Information
Several species of fossil bird are known from the Ashfall Fossil Beds. As of publication date, all represent previously undescribed species. In 2012, ornithologists Zhang, Feduccia and James described a vulture from isolated remains recovered from the Ashfall site in 1979. Similar in morphology to the Palm-nut Vulture (Gypohierax) of Africa, the relationship to the Ashfall vulture is unclear, and may represent an example of convergent evolution. The fossil vulture was designated Anchigyps voorhiesiin honor of paleontologist Michael Voorhies.

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications
The purpose of this data set was to compile body mass information for all mammals on Earth so that we could investigate the patterns of body mass seen across geographic and taxonomic space and evolutionary time. We were interested in the heritability of body size across taxonomic groups (How conserved is body mass within a genus, family, and order?), in the overall pattern of body mass across continents (Do the moments and other descriptive statistics remain the same across geographic space?), and over evolutionary time (How quickly did body mass patterns iterate on the patterns seen today? Were the Pleistocene …
Amphicyonidae, Robert Hunt
Amphicyonidae, Robert Hunt
University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers
The Amphicyonidae occur in North America from late Eocene (~40 Ma) to early late Miocene (~9 Ma), a span of 31 million years. In the North American land mammal biochronology, this diverse family extends from the Duchesnean to the end of the Clarendonian and is especially well represented in the Miocene (~5-24 Ma). In the Old World, amphicyonids survive no longer than in North America: The last European records are Vallesian (Dinotheriensande, Mainz Basin, Germany, Kuss, 1965, Tobien, 1980; Vallés-Penédes Basin, Spain, Crusafont-Pairó and Kurten, 1976), and the last representative may occur at about 9 Ma at Kohfidisch, Austria (latest …
