Fossil Sites - Neogene

Below are links to scoresheets for assemblages that have been dated as Neogene. See the individual scoresheets for additional details such as the scorer. The Reference/Source column indicates publications and/or museum collections that form the basis of the scores. The latitudes and longitudes are derived either from data provided by the Berkeley UCMP collections database or data provided in the reference. The Assumed Age is the age used to determine the Palaeolatitude (PLat) using PointTracker 4.5 software supplied by Chris Scotese.
