Cenozoic Chronology and Vertebrate Faunas of Bolivia

该项目将研究3000万年来的哺乳动物记录， 玻利维亚高原上的动物群 此次更新将 资本化，并及时从结果中向上扩展， 以前的研究。 拟议研究的目标是 对已知的6个晚新生代（中新世-更新世） 地点和前景的新的地方，将填补 已知存在于该区域的序列。 在这样做的时候，我们可以使用 我们的研究结果在时间上追踪了3000万年的井- 在局部区域校准进化，也使空间 与南部其它重要新生代层序的对比 例如，美国，阿根廷的经典景点

This project will study the 30 million year record of mammalian faunas exposed on the Bolivian altiplano. This renewal will capitalize on, and expand upwards in time from the results of the previous research. The objectives for the proposed research are to intensively work six known late Cenozoic (Miocene-Pleistocene) sites and to prospect for new localities that will fill in the sequence known to exist in this region. In so doing, we could use our results to temporally trace 30 million years of well- calibrated evolution in a localized area and also make spatial comparison with other important Cenozoic sequences in South America, e.g., the classic sites in Argentina.
