  • A New Machairodont from the Palmetto Fauna (Early Pliocene) of Florida, with Comments on the Origin of the Smilodontini (Mammalia, Carnivora, Felidae)
    A New Machairodont from the Palmetto Fauna (Early Pliocene) of Florida, with Comments on the Origin of the Smilodontini (Mammalia, Carnivora, Felidae) Steven C. Wallace1*, Richard C. Hulbert Jr.2 1 Department of Geosciences, Don Sundquist Center of Excellence in Paleontology, East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, Tennessee, United States of America, 2 Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, United States of America Abstract South-central Florida’s latest Hemphillian Palmetto Fauna includes two machairodontine felids, the lion-sized Machairodus coloradensis and a smaller, jaguar-sized species, initially referred to Megantereon hesperus based on a single, relatively incomplete mandible. This made the latter the oldest record of Megantereon, suggesting a New World origin of the genus. Subsequent workers variously accepted or rejected this identification and biogeographic scenario. Fortunately, new material, which preserves previously unknown characters, is now known for the smaller taxon. The most parsimonious results of a phylogenetic analysis using 37 cranio-mandibular characters from 13 taxa place it in the Smilodontini, like the original study; however, as the sister-taxon to Megantereon and Smilodon. Accordingly, we formally describe Rhizosmilodon fiteae gen. et sp. nov. Rhizosmilodon, Megantereon, and Smilodon ( = Smilodontini) share synapomorphies relative to their sister-taxon Machairodontini: serrations smaller and restricted to canines; offset of P3 with P4 and p4 with m1; complete verticalization of mandibular symphysis; m1 shortened and robust with widest point anterior to notch; and extreme posterior ‘‘lean’’ to p3/p4. Rhizosmilodon has small anterior and posterior accessory cusps on p4, a relatively large lower canine, and small, non-procumbent lower incisors; all more primitive states than in Megantereon and Smilodon.

Harris, who provided guidance and support both in my academic and personal life. Dr. Harris was always enthusiastic in providing advice and assistance throughout the project; and was instrumental in its timely completion. I also thank my supervisory committee members for their expertise in different aspects of the project: Dr. Sabine Grunwald (GIS), Dr. Vimala Nair (total P analysis), and Dr. Kenneth Portier (statistical analysis). I thank Dr. Stanley Latimer for assistance in GIS operations; and transferring of GIS data to the GPS unit. A major part of the project involved GIS and I thank Larry “Rex” Ellis, Tait Chirenje, and Mike Tischler, who helped me overcome various GIS hurdles. The field sampling would not have been possible without the assistance of Mr. Keith Hollien, whose knowledge of the roads and tolerance of some “bad weather” were deeply appreciated. Also, I thank Keith Hollien and Natalie Rodriguez for assistance with the mineralogical analyses. Many of my professors and colleagues assisted in the project; some providing advice and others, a helping hand. They include Dr. Randall Brown, Dr. Mary Collins, Dr. Michael Binford, and Ms. Myrlène Chrysostome. I would also like to thank the landowners and park rangers who gave us permission for field sampling.

Campbell, P.G. 192, T.M. Scott, P.G. 99 and R.C. Green 1994 Introduction The Florida Geological Survey (FGSL in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the city of Sarasota, drilled and analyzed a deep core hole located at the Sarasota Downtown Well Field (SDWF). The investigation focused on the Neogene and Paleogene lithostratigraphy and the Floridan aquifer system. The corehole was drilled into the top of the Middle Eocene Avon Park Formation and terminated at a total depth of 1101 feet below land surface (bls). The core obtained in this study is cataloged as well W·16999 and is stored in the FGS core repository. Funding was provided by the Florida Geological Survey and the 'city of Sarasota. The SDWF draws water from both the intermediate and Floridan aquifer systems. The intermediate aquifer system and confining units consist of Neogene and Paleogene Hawthorn Group sediments. The Floridan aquifer system is composed of latest Paleogene sediments of the Hawthorn Group, and Paleogene sediments of the Suwannee and Ocala Limestones and the Avon Park Formation.

  • Reconstructing Equid Mobility in Miocene Florida Using Strontium
    Reconstructing Equid Mobility in Miocene Florida Using Strontium Isotopes A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Geology McMicken College of Arts and Sciences By: Jenelle Wallace B.S. State University of New York Geneseo Advisory Committee: Brooke Crowley, Ph.D. - Committee Chair Josh Miller, Ph.D. Aaron Diefendorf, Ph.D. i ABSTRACT Despite extensive research on the evolutionary history and ecology of horses, we know surprisingly little about the mobility of now-extinct species. We used strontium isotope ratios (87Sr/86Sr) in tooth enamel to reconstruct mobility patterns of horses from two Miocene fossil sites in northern Florida, USA: Thomas Farm (ca. 18 Ma) and Love Bone Bed (ca. 9.5 to 9 Ma). Gomphotheres and tapirs from Love Bone Bed were also included to represent dedicated browsers. Based on modern mobility patterns of extant taxa, we expected that small-bodied or browsing taxa would have 87Sr/86Sr similar to that of local limestone, indicating a relatively sedentary lifestyle. Large-bodied and grazing taxa should have higher and more variable 87Sr/86Sr, reflecting a higher degree of mobility across differing geologies. Surprisingly, the majority of taxa at both sites have higher 87Sr/86Sr than expected for underlying Eocene bedrock, and instead are similar to contemporary Late Oligocene to mid-Miocene seawater. There are several potential scenarios to explain this, one of which seems most plausible. Most individuals may have foraged close to the coast, where vegetation would have been heavily influenced by marine-derived strontium via sea spray.
