Item A Bibliography of the Recent Mammals of Texas(Texas Memorial Museum, The University of Texas at Austin, 1962-03) Raun, Gerald G.Item Carnivorous Mammals of the Late Eocene and Early Ogliocene of Trans-Pecos Texas(Texas Memorial Museum, The University of Texas at Austin, 1986-12) Gustafson, Eric PaulThe fossil carnivore fauna of the late Eocene (Bridgerian-Uintan) and early Oligocene (Chadronian) of Trans-Pecos Texas includes specimens from stratigraphically superimposed faunas of three areas: the Sierra Vieja (Vieja Group), the badlands near Agua Fria Mountain (Buck Hill Group), and near Castolon in southern Big Bend National Park (Chisos Formation). Members of the mammalian orders Condylarthra, Creodonta, and Carnivora are included in this study. The fossils occur in volcaniclastic continental sediments, interbedded with lava flows and ignimbrites. The Cenozoic rocks unconformably overlie Cretaceous sedimentary rocks in all three areas. Radiometric dates from several stratigraphic levels allow the calibration of biostratigraphic data.Item The Genus Dinofelis (Carnivora, Mammalia) in the Blancan of North America(Texas Memorial Museum, The University of Texas at Austin, 1972-05) Kurten, BjornItem Stratigraphic Occurrence and Correlation of Early Tertiary Vertebrate Faunas, Trans-Pecos Texas(Texas Memorial Museum, The University of Texas at Austin, 1977) Wilson, John AndrewStrategraphic positions for the Candelaria local fauna (late Uintan), the Porvenir local fauna (early Chadronian), Little Egypt, and Airstrip local faunas (Chadronian) within the Vieja Group are given. The Porvenir local fauna contains 32 genera in common with Chadronian faunas to the north and six genera in common with the Lapoint fauna. K-AR dates of approximately 38 and 36 million years are below and above the Porvenir local fauna. A mammalian assemblage sufficiently distinct to characterize a Duchesnean age is not present in the Vieja area. It is urged that the first appearance of Mesohippus mark the beginning of the Chadronian age.Item Vertebrate Footprints and Invertebrate Traces from the Cadronian(Late Eocene) of Trans-Pecos Texas(Texas Memorial Museum, The University of Texas at Austin, 1994) S. Sarjeant, William Anthony; Langston Jr, WannCeratomorph remains found in Eocene and Oligocene deposits of Trans-Pecos Texas are herein described, except for the amynodonts which were described in a previous paper. Hyracodon primus, Hyracodon petersoni, and Colodon stovalli n. sp. are described from well-preserved material; Hyrachyus and Dilophodon are not so well represented. Triplopus, Caenopus, and Trigonias are questionably identified and a skull fragment is provisionally referred to Toxotherium.
