About This Book

A scientific report documents fossil pocket-gopher remains recovered from a high-elevation limestone cave in northeastern Mexico, interprets the assemblage as late Pleistocene, and describes the preservation and stratigraphic context. Detailed morphological comparisons and measurements are presented for specimens referred to Thomomys and Cratogeomys (including C. castanops and an indeterminate rostral form), with discussion of size variation relative to modern subspecies. The paper situates these geomyid records among other cave fauna and considers their relevance to past mammal distributions in the region.
