During the road construction work near the city of Pécs (South Hungary), many fossils were found in September 2008. New finds of bone and teeth remains of Mammoth Steppe fauna from Upper Pleistocene fluvial sediments are reviewed. The complete Late
Pleistocene megafauna appears to be represented here. The study contains the detailed analysis of fossils found and gives a paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the Kozármisleny site. - (AM)
Age constraints on the Duck Ponds and Limeburner's Point mammalian faunas based on magnetic polarity stratigraphy in the Geelong Area (Victoria), Australia

This study reports on the magnetic polarity stratigraphy developed in the Geelong area and the age of the Duck Ponds and Limeburner's Point local faunas. These age determinations enhance the biostratigraphic importance of both local faunas
on a continent characterized by a chronic lack of chronologically well-constrained fossil vertebrate localities.

Recent investigations of a limestone solution cave in Haida Gwaii have yielded skeletal remains of fauna including late Pleistocene and early Holocene bears. One specimen of which dates to ca. 14,400 C 14 yr B.P. This new fossil evidence sheds light

A comparison is made between the sequence of human fossils found in northern China along with their associated mammalian fossil and the loess-paleosol sequence. It is found that for the last 1200 ka, the flourishing period of the hominid with its

The purpose of this paper is to compile information on marine fossils in beaches around Antarctica that may have been impacted by meltwater associated with ice sheet marginal variations during the Holocene.
Some vertebrate and mollusc fossils have been found on the southern hillslope of the Mátra Mountains near the village of Atkár. The fossils occured in the upper part of an 8-13 m thick Pannonian sand unit. The age of the fossils remains are ca. 6 Ma
A fossil assemblage containing molluscs, ostracodes, and fish has been recovered from lacustrine sediments from near Connersville, southeastern Indiana. This paper describes and interprets the paleomagnetic, aminostratigraphic, and fossil data

Distribution of an arctic ostracod fauna in space and time
The study is divised into two parts: 1. a comparison of cold shallow-water, cold-climate fossil ostracods from southern Manitoba with modern counterparts in the arctic (Somerset side) and 2. a comparison of warm-water, temperature-climate fossil
This paper reports fossil tracks of large herbivores in upper-Pleistocene eolian sand-sheet deposits in central and southwestern Alaska. The association of tracks with subhorizontally stratified eolian-sand deposits further suggests that vegetated
presented here from sites in 2 caves of the Ankarana Massif provide a preliminary base from which to identify future priorities in studies of the geochronology of the extinct fauna of Madagascar.
Preliminary description of several sites of fossil bone accumulation in the central mountains in the west of the island, at elevations higher than any previously known. The environmental settings of the faunas are interpreted with help from some

Accelerator dating of a mixed assemblage of late Pleistocene insect fossils from the Lamb Spring site, Colorado
The Lamb Spring insect fauna is a type of assemblage, containing both prairie and alpine tundra species. Accelerator dating of insect fossil specimens from the two ecological groups helped resolve the paleoecological problem. The dates reveal
that what appeared to be an ecological mixing was probably a taphonomic problem, wherein full-glacial-age fossils were probably reworked into latest Wisconsin sediments.
A fossil assemblage containing molluscs, mammals, insects, ostracodes, and plants has been recovered from a silt-filled depression near Lima, in west-central Illinois. This paper presents and interprets the fossil molluscs, vertebrates, and insects
