Open publisher page 20 citations

Abstract

This chapter presents last occurrence dates and associated data for 255 extinct mammal species that are currently known or suspected to have died out during the Holocene. This includes species known to have survived into the historical period, and those represented in Late Quaternary subfossil deposits known or believed to be Holocene in age, or from island systems which humans did not reach until the Holocene.
