Abstract
ABSTRACT A new small sciuravid rodent, Natrona natronensis, new genus and species, from Uintan and Duchesnean deposits in the Wagon Bed Formation at the Hendry Ranch locality in central Wyoming exhibits some morphological parallelism in the structure of its P4 to the M1 of the more derived cricetid rodents. Other occurrences of this new lineage may be from the Eocene of Trans-Pecos Texas and Lac Pelletier, Saskatchewan, Canada.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Carnegie Museum is a quarterly journal that publishes peer-reviewed short and medium-length original scientific contributions in organismal biology, earth sciences, and anthropology, in 40 by 52.5 pica format (168 by 220 mm or 6-5/8 by 8-5/8 inches). Subject matter must be relevant to Carnegie Museum of Natural History scientific sections or Powdermill Nature Reserve (PNR), preferably with connection to the Carnegie collection and/or personnel. Carnegie Museum staff and research associates receive publication priority, but others are encouraged to submit papers, especially those manuscripts explicitly based on the Carnegie collection.
