摘要
Fourteen mammalian taxa are identified from a late Pleistocene site in Stonewall County, Texas. Shell from the site has been dated at 13,270 +/- 110 YBP. The present ranges of six taxa are used to create an area of sympatry. Environmental and ecological conditions found in the area of sympatry today best represent those at the Tonk Creek site 13,000 YBP. The fauna consists of species typical of a tall-grass prairie with locally mesic conditions. This fossil faunal assemblage from Stonewall County is indicative of the existence of cooler and probably more moist conditions 13,000 years ago than present.
