Abstract

Five types of carnivores have so far been recognized in the preliminary study of the Jamber Local Fauna (University of Nebraska State Museum Collecting Locality Boyd County no. 6), northern Nebraska. These include Tomarctus cf. brevirostris, Aelurodon haydeni, Aelurodon sp., Leptocyon cf. vafer, and Pseudaelurus cf. marshi The Jamber Quarry carnivores and associated fauna appear to be Early Valentinian in age.
