QUATERNARY VERTEBRATE SITES: SOUTHWESTERN USA AND NORTHWESTERN MEXICO

Southern California Sites

The foundational sources for Californian records are Jefferson 1991a, Jefferson 1991b, and an updated checklist supplied by Jefferson (2014); the presentation of sites is taken largely from those sources.

Los Angeles County has an enormous number of sites, mostly in the greater Los Angeles region. These have been presented alphabetically (within ages) under several links entitled "Los Angeles County", with the titles indicating the letters of the alphabet contained within the link. A few Los Angeles County sites, including Rancho La Brea, are given separately. Several unlocated sites have been consolidated under "Riverside County Unlocated.

Hopefully, the majority of southern California records have now been recorded, though undoubtedly more will emerge through time. Alerts will be noted in the updates section.

Sites under the Los Angeles links are underlined in the taxon accounts.
