Abstract

The mammalian Quaternary record of the Canadian Prairies as revealed since 1960 represents a nearly continuous vertebrate record since Aftonian (Olduvai Palaeomagnetic Event) times. Sites are located chiefly in southern Saskatchewan and prairie Alberta (including the Peace River District), and contain the major mammalian taxa for that timespan and type of environment. Last and first occurrences of at least 17 genera (and their species) enable Canadian mammalian palaeofaunas to be temporally located in concert with geomagnetic and radiometric data.
