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 recent fossil finds
as well as important new interpretations based on ten years of
fieldwork by the authors. A key focus is placed on the paleoclimate
and paleoenvironment during the time of deposition in the Middle
Miocene Climatic Optimum (MMCO) between twenty and fifteen million
years ago. The authors present the first reconstruction of what
climatic conditions were like and present important new evidence of
the geochronological age, habits and community structures of fossil
bird and mammal species. Academic researchers and graduate students
in paleontology, paleobiology, paleoecology, stratigraphy,
climatology and geochronology will find this a valuable source of
information about this fascinating geological formation.
