Documenting the paleontological resources of National Park Service areas of the southern California coast and islands
Justin Tweet, Tim Connors, Vincent Santucci
Paleontological resource inventories for the parks of the National Park Service's Mediterranean Coast Inventory and Monitoring Network (MEDN) indicate a significant Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic fossil record for the southern California coast and islands. These inventories document over 100 million years of biologic and geologic changes along the Pacific coast of southern California. During 2012, comprehensive paleontological resource data were compiled for Cabrillo National Monument (CABR), Channel Islands National Park (CHIS), and Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area (SAMO). This recent work expands the paleontological resource data previously compiled for each of the parks in 2003 and during the SAMO paleontological survey of 2004. Fossil plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates and trace fossils represent both marine and terrestrial life along the ancestral coast of southern California.

Type Specimens of Fossil Vertebrates in the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Paleontology Collection
Amanda Cantrell
New Mexico Geological Society Annual Spring Meeting, 2016
the paleontology collection being established in 1983. In the last 32 years, the collection has grown to more than 70,000 cataloged specimens and more than 10,000 fossil localities. Museum staff, adjunct researchers, students and volunteers have collected the majority of NMMNH fossils, with the remainder coming from other institutions as orphaned collections (Morgan and Lucas, 2000). The vertebrate paleontology type collection includes a diverse array of specimens, from the 3535 kg (11,600 lb.) block with some of the dorsal vertebrae of the Jurassic sauropod dinosaur " Seismosaurus" hallorum, to a tooth of the Cretaceous eutherian mammal Gypsonictops clemensi that fits on the head of a pin. The vertebrate paleontology type collection of the NMMNH consists of 129 primary type specimens-81 holotypes and 48 paratypes. Of the 81 holotypes, 35 are genoholotypes; 68 of the 81 holotypes are from New Mexico, with the remaining 13 from Texas, Wyoming, Montana and Alabama. The number of holotype specimens by geologic time period is:Mississippian (1), Pennsylvanian (14), Permian (2), Triassic (26), Jurassic (1), Cretaceous (18), Paleocene (15), and Eocene (4). The following classes are represented in the NMMNH vertebrate paleontology type collection: Chondrichthyes (9), Acanthodii (1), Osteichthyes (4), Amphibia (2), Reptilia (32) and Mammalia (20).

Of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County
Pedro Baez
2015
The scientific publications of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County have been issued at irregular intervals in three major series; the articles in each series are numbered individually, and the numbers run consecutively, regardless of the subject matter. • Contributions in Science, a miscellaneous series of technical papers describing original research in the life and earth sciences. • Science Bulletin, a miscellaneous series of monographs describing original research in the life and earth sciences. This series was discontinued in 1978 with the issue of Numbers 29 and 30; monographs are now published by the museum in Contributions in Science. • Science Series, long articles and collections of papers on natural history topics. Copies of the publications in these series are sold through the Museum Book Shop. A catalog is available on request. The museum also publishes Technical Reports, a miscellaneous series containing information relative to scholarly inquiry and collect...

Abstract The entire catalogued paleontological collection of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science (NMMNH), including 35,902+ fossils from New Mexico, is now online and searchable by the general public, avocational paleontologist, researcher, and geoscience educator. The Web site does not include sensitive geographic localities, but all aspects of the taxonomy, stratigraphy, and chronology of the specimens are viewable at http://164.64. 119.14/nmmnh/web/default. html.

Pleistocene Terrestrial Vertebrates from near Point San Luis, and Other Localities in San Luis Obispo County, California
John Wesling
Bulletin, Southern California Academy of Sciences, 1992
Terrestrial vertebrate remains were recovered from sediments that lie on remnants of the lowest marine wave-cut platform between Point Buchon and Point San Luis. Uranium series ages of these samples, which range from 83 to about 49 ka suggest a correlation to late Pleistocene climatic and eustatic events associated with marine oxygen isotope substage Sa, and establish a maximum age of "'" 80 ka for the occurrence of terrestrial mammal fossils. The Point San Luis area assemblage appears typical of the late Pleistocene regional vertebrate paleo fauna from west-central California. Five mammalian taxa are added to the Pleis tocene record from San Luis Obispo County. Equus sp. cf. E. occidentalis, Ca mclops sp. cf. C. hesternus, and Bison antiquus were recovered from the Point San Luis area, and A1ammut americanum and B. latiffons from near Morro Bay and the Carrizo Plains in eastern San Luis Obispo County.
