Biostratigraphy and Vertebrate Paleontology of the San Timoteo Badlands, Southern California
L. Barry Albright
Abstract
This book describes forty-two fossil taxa recovered during a study of the San Timoteo Badlands that used magnetobiostratigraphy to develop a temporal framework for addressing the tectonic evolution of southern California over the last six million years. For the Pliocene, small mammals are an effective means of correlating a magnetostratigraphy to the Geomagnetic Polarity Time Scale when radioisotopic dates are unobtainable.
Keywords: fossil taxa, San Timoteo Badlands, magnetobiostratigraphy, tectonic evolution, Southern California, Pilocne, Geomagnetic Polarity Time Scale
