“…Comparisons of specimens were made with those at Instituto de Geologia, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico ( The dental nomenclature used is that described in Gentry and Hooker (1988); measurements of upper and lower dentition were taken with a caliper as maximum lengths and widths at the oc clusal level (Janis, 1990;Morgan and Morgan, 1995)…”

“…Although the systematics of the Antilocapridae is based pri marily on horn core characters, in the case of Capromeryx, due to the progressive dwarfing observed in the genus (Morgan and Morgan, 1995;Janis and Manning, 1998), the size of the teeth (especially the length), as well as their morphology, are different enough to allow species identification. Paleobiological considerations.-Previous to this study, Cap romeryx tauntonensis was only known from the Taunton local fauna of Washington and from a tentative referral from the Sand Draw local fauna in Nebraska (Morgan and Morgan, 1995;Janis and Manning, 1998).…”

“…All the specimens described herein are from the rich clay and/or sand strata and were found in association with two Blancan index fos sils that confirm the Pliocene age of these strata: an astragalus of Capromeryx cf. C. tautonensis Morgan andMorgan, 1995 (Jimenez-Hidalgo, personal commun., 2003), and dental elements of Nannipus peninsulatus Cope, 1885b. Additionally, from the same clay-sand strata of La Cementera some seeds referable to Fabaceae (Estrada-Ruiz, personal commun.…”

“…4) ( 1) the River Road fauna (Gustafson, 1977) that is near the following fauna and is of Miocene age, possibly the age of the Chalk Hills Formation that underlies the Glenns Ferry lake beds and of the older part of the Alturas Formation of northeast California (the River Road fauna is in a coarse conglomerate rather than lake beds); (2) the White Bluffs fauna (Gustafson, 1978) that may be 4. 3 Ma old (Repenning, 1987), older than any mammalian fauna in the Glenns Ferry Formation but of Blancan (Pliocene) age and younger than the youngest part of the Alturas lake beds of northeast California; (3) the Blufftop faunas (Gustafson, 1985; including Haymaker's Orchard locality of that are about 3.9 Ma old (a little older than the oldest Hagerman mammals but possibly a bit younger than the oldest lake beds included in the Glenns Ferry Formation near King Hill); and (4) the Taunton fauna (Tedford and Gustafson, 1977;Morgan and Morgan, 1995) about 2.9 Ma old, younger than the Hagerman faunas and about the age of the Sand Point fauna of Idaho. Repenning ( 1987) assigned too old an age to the Taunton fauna, and an age of about 2.9 Ma has become evident with further collecting of the locality by James and Neil Morgan of Othello, Washington.…”
