Taxonomic list comments:Blancan component of mixed Blancan-Rancholabrean fauna; based on Morgan and White 1995 some of the "Blancan" taxa may still be misidentified; however, only Castoroides is listed by Webb and explicitly stated to be Rancholabrean by Morgan and Hulbert 1995 Webb's "IB" is actually a composite of river bottom (1A) and in-place Blancan river bank (1B) deposits: Morgan and Ridgway 1987 "Castoroides ohioensis" ("C. sp." of Morgan and Ridgway 1987) is believed to be a Rancholabrean specimen by Morgan and White 1995 "Trigonictis sp." is not present: Ray et al. 1981, p. 8 "Mammut americanum" is omitted by Morgan and Hulbert 1995 and presumably is Rancholabrean "Mammuthus sp." of Lambert 1995 from Santa Fe River 1B is by Cassiliano 1999 to be of doubtful assignment to the Blancan faunal component, even though the material was said by Lambert to be in situ |
