Sold Gallery Several dozen tons of ivory are recovered from the vast reaches of northern permafrost every year. Most of those tusks come from trunk-bearing animals which became extinct in the late Pleistocene era. Several species of mammoth and mastodon represent the sources of this ivory. Its value lies not only in its venerable age but also in the fact that thousands of years of being buried has often led to changes in color. From brown to turquoise to nearly black, these different colors can be used by the skilled craftsman to achieve wonderful effects.

Ice age mammals and their extinction Smilodon , last of the sabre-toothed cats. Artist: Caroll.L. Fenton. A range of giant mammals, birds and reptiles lived on Earth during the Pleistocene Epoch . These creatures included the woolly mammoth, sabre-toothed cat and giant deer in the Northern Hemisphere, and giant marsupials like Diprotodon in Australia. The Pleistocene Epoch was characterised by a series of ice ages-the last peaking about 18000 years ago. The large, extinct animals of this time are therefore termed Pleistocene or Ice age mammals. The term ' Megafauna ' is also sometimes used, particularly for the giant marsupials that lived in Australia at this time. Palaeontologists are very interested in the ice age mammals. Many of these creatures coexisted with humans towards the end of the Pleistocene, with the last of them becoming extinct less than one thousand years ago. The causes of their extinction is of considerable interest, with most palaeontologists suggesting that climatic fluctuations, human hunting, human habitat alteration or a combination of the three were responsible. The part played by humans in the extinction of the megafauna is very unclear. Many researchers believe that the migration of humans into various parts of the world (such as North America) subjected the local megafauna to sudden hunting pressure, and so contributed to the extinction of many large animals. However, clear evidence of humans actually causing megafaunal extinctions is only present in Madagascar in the case of the giant lemurs, and in New Zealand in the case of the extinction of some of the moas (giant birds) about 500 years ago.

The Quaternary About 1.78 million years ago to present. This period is further divided into Pleistocene Epoch (duration about 1.77 million years) and Holocene Epoch (about 10 thousand years). This was a period of successive ice ages, the last at its peak about 18000 years ago. Modern humans were present from about 100000 years ago. Some of the large mammals of the Northern Hemisphere and the giant megafauna of Australia became extinct about 50000 years ago. Pictures of Quaternary life. Top Diplocynodon. Source: Museum Victoria. The Tertiary (Sub-era) About 65 to 1.78 million years ago. This sub-era is further divided into Epochs named Paleocene (duration about 10.2 million years), Eocene (about 21.1 million years), Oligocene (about 9.8 million years), Miocene (about 18.5 million years) and Pliocene (about 3.5 million years). This interval is sometimes called the 'Age of Mammals' because of the marked increase in the diversity and abundance of mammals of all kinds. Flowering plants, grasslands and deciduous trees were widespread, and insects, crocodiles, turtles, and tortoises continued to evolve. Fish increased in variety (including giant sharks more than 20 metres long about 15 million years ago). Most invertebrates were similar to those living today. Towards the end of the Tertiary, a number of very large mammals appeared. In the Northern hemisphere, these included ancestors of the mammoth and sabre-toothed cat; in Australia they were giant marsupials and lizards, and large, flightless birds.

49. Paleocene Mammals Of The World B. (editor) 1988 Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and prehistoric animals.Macmillan London Limited. Paula Couto, C. de 1952 Fossil mammals from the http://www.paleocene-mammals.de/marsupials.htm

Marsupials: A southern success story Marsupials are often associated with the Australian continent where such popular animals as kangaroos and koalas live. Less widely known is that a number of marsupials occur in South America today. These include the opossums, the only marsupials that also occur in the northern hemisphere today. Surprisingly, Mesozoic marsupials are mainly known from North America, and they may have originated there during the Cretaceous. Primitive opossum-like marsupials are among the most common and most diverse mammals in the late Cretaceous of North America. They include cat-sized forms like Didelphodon , one of the largest Mesozoic mammals - and one of the most widely known thanks to its appearance in "Walking with Dinosaurs". Didelphodon had teeth specialized for crushing, and it has been suggested that it fed on hard shelled food like clams, snails, turtles or even young ankylosaurs. The diversity of North American marsupials was dramatically reduced at the end of the Cretaceous. Only one single lineage, represented by late Cretaceous Alphadon and Paleocene Peradectes , survived the faunal turnover. Thus marsupials fared hardly better than dinosaurs in North America, and worse than reptiles on the whole.

50. Paleocene Mammals Of The World and prehistoric animals. Macmillan London Limited. Although about fossil vertebratesin general, this book contains an extensive section on fossil mammals, http://www.paleocene-mammals.de/pal_ref.htm

References Non-technical literature on fossil mammals Since I know of no (semi-)popular publications that deal especially with Paleocene mammals, I can only provide some recommendations for fossil mammals in general. The books below all aim at adult readers. Benton, M. J. 1991: The rise of the mammals. Eagle Editions. This should be the most recent semipopular overview of the history of mammals. Contains many nice drawings of extinct mammals and photographs of their fossils. Probably the most comprehensive non-technical book on fossil mammals that was published in the last two decades. Besides many excellent restorations, there are numerous line drawings of fossils, so it looks a little like a popular edition of the chapters on mammals in Carrol (1988). Kurtén, B. 1971: The age of mammals. Columbia University Press, New York. Although a little outdated, this books still gives a very good overview of mammal evolution in the Cenozoic, including a long chapter on the Paleocene. Drawings and plates are present, but the focus is clearly on the text. A great summary of Cenozoic mammal evolution in Europe, richly illustrated in the style of "The Big Cats and Their Fossil Relatives". Although the text does not go into too much technical detail, it still aims at more serious students of the subject. The chapter on the Paleocene is up-to-date and quite detailed, and some of its unique restorations might soon appear on this site.

Schepartz said it is unlikely that the animals wandered into the cave on their own. Rhinos are grazers and Stegodons are browsers, normally found in more open areas. In addition, rhinos tend to be solitary animals while in the Dadong cave, large numbers of rhino remains were discovered in the ancient deposits. Schepartz is working with a team of researchers, including Sari Miller-Antonio of California State University, Deborah Bakken of the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and archaeologists at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of Beijing.

Illinois State Geological Survey - Geoscience Education and Outreach Unit The Kingfisher Illustrated Dinosaur Encyclopedia The Kingfisher Illustrated Dinosaur Encyclopedia By David Burnie. Information on the book: Title: The Kingfisher Illustrated Dinosaur Encyclopedia Authors:David Burnie Publisher: Kingfisher 80 Maiden Lane New York, New York 10038 Date: September 2001 Cost: $24.95 US Comments by R. J. Jacobson The book is another in a series of books that not only discusses dinosaurs but other prehistoric creatures. When I first looked at it, I thought from the title, that it was book along the lines of the old Dinosaur Encyclopedia by Dave Norman but I soon found I was wrong. Dinosaurs certainly get the major treatment in this book, with 98 pages out of a total of 219 pages being devoted to my favorite creatures. Hence the term dinosaur in the title I suppose, however, the rest of the creatures covered include the typical prehistoric creatures, such as some contemporaries of dinosaurs (namely the flying reptiles and sea creatures), and a selection of mammals from the Tertiary and earlier animals that preceded the dinosaurs. I wonder if the publisher was trying to overuse the popularity of dinosaurs to promote and sell a book that covers alot more than dinosaurs? While the content on each is fairly current, this book has one serious flaw, namely reinforcing the public misconception that anything prehistoric is a "dinosaur". The discussion about dinosaurs starting on page 64 (
