生物年代学对于脊椎动物年代学非常重要，因为古脊椎动物学家开发和应用的用于陆地沉积物相关性的主要时间单位（陆地哺乳动物年龄，LMA）都是生物年代学单位。已经为欧洲（MN 单位或 ELMA）、亚洲（ALMA）、北美（NALMA）和南美洲（SALMA）制定了特定的哺乳动物生物年代标度。每个时间尺度都是基于陆地哺乳动物的首次出现和不同大陆上的特征关联。在此，我们总结和回顾了识别哺乳动物生物年代单位的基础以及陆地哺乳动物年龄的最新更新。我们将这些年龄与全球磁年代地层和地质年代学时间尺度联系起来，包括过去 800 万年的主要马科动物进化事件。
Biochronology is important to vertebrate chronology because the primary temporal units developed and applied by vertebrate paleontologists for correlation of terrestrial deposits (Land Mammal Ages, LMA) are all biochronologic units. Specific mammal biochronologic scales have been developed for Europe (MN units or ELMA), Asia (ALMA), North America (NALMA) and South America (SALMA). Each timescale is based on land mammal first appearances and characteristic associations on different continental landmasses. Herein, we summarize and review the bases for recognizing mammalian biochronologic units with the most recent update of the Land Mammal Ages. We correlate these ages with the global magnetochronostratigraphic and geochronologic time scales including the major equid evolutionary events of the last 8 million years.
