Taxonomic list comments:records of ? Urocyon sp., Trigonictis idahoensis (=T. macrodon), Taxidea sp., and Mammut sp. in Skinner and Hibbard 1972 could be from the Lisco quarries
same problem with Sminthosinis bowleri Anderson 1984
"Dipoides" or "? Castoroides sp." of Schultz and Stout 1948 seems extremely doubtful in light of Kurten and Anderson 1980, Morgan and White 1995

"Pliophenacomys primaevus" Schultz and Stout 1948 is omitted by Zakrzewski 1984
