Late Cenozoic sequences of mammalian sites in Eurasia: an updated correlation

A review of the geochronological sequence of Late Cenozoic mammalian sites in Eurasia covering the time span from the Vallesian up to the Toringian is given. An updated correlation chart of mammalian localities in Eastern Europe and Asia with the chronology of the Neogene and the magnetic polarity t...

Description
Summary:A review of the geochronological sequence of Late Cenozoic mammalian sites in Eurasia covering the time span from the Vallesian up to the Toringian is given. An updated correlation chart of mammalian localities in Eastern Europe and Asia with the chronology of the Neogene and the magnetic polarity time scale is presented. Some new data on the phylogeny, evolution, distribution and biochronology of voles and lemmings in Eurasia are briefly discussed.
