They are mainly the result of damming of drainage systems during glacial advances or by catastrophic mass movement deposits.

متن کاملNew Tribosphenic Mammals from the Mussentuchit Local Fauna (cedar Mountain Formation, Cenomanian), Utah, Usa
Herein we describe two new tribosphenic mammals from the Cedar Mountain Formation of Emery County, Utah, USA. The fossils occur in a narrow stratigraphic interval near the top of the unit (Mussentuchit Member) and date to approximately the Early–Late Cretaceous boundary (early Cenomanian, ~97 Mya). The specimens were recovered from screen-washing bulk rock samples. Both taxa are based on isolat...
متن کاملElevational Distribution and Ecology of Small Mammals on Tanzania's Second Highest Mountain
Mt. Meru is Tanzania's second highest mountain and the ninth highest in Africa. The distribution and abundance of small mammals on this massif are poorly known. Here we document the distribution of shrews and rodents along an elevational gradient on the southeastern versant of Mt. Meru. Five sites were sampled with elevational center points of 1950, 2300, 2650, 3000, and 3600 m, using a systema...
