"Coastal exposures of the Santa Cruz Formation in southern Patagonia have been a fertile
ground for recovery of Early Miocene vertebrates for more than 100 years. This volume
presents a comprehensive compilation of important mammalian groups which continue
to thrive today. It includes the most recent fossil finds as well as important new
interpretations based on 10 years of fieldwork by the authors. A key focus is placed
on the paleoclimate and paleoenvironment during the time of deposition in the Middle
Miocene Climatic Optimum (MMCO) between 20 and 15 million years ago. The authors present
the first reconstruction of what climatic conditions were like and present important
new evidence of the geochronological age, habits and community structures of fossil
bird and mammal species. Academic researchers and graduate students in paleontology,
paleobiology, paleoecology, stratigraphy, climatology and geochronology will find
this a valuable source of information about this fascinating geological formation"--
