摘要

从1953年开始，在R.A.斯特顿的领导下，在短短十多年的时间里，一个系统的项目发现了新的澳大利亚陆生哺乳动物化石遗址和标本，极大地增加了对该大陆新近纪陆生哺乳动物历史的了解。在这个项目开始的时候，在三个地点只发现了一具不完整的骨骼和一些陆生哺乳动物的牙齿。当斯特顿1966年去世时，又发现了9个新近纪陆生哺乳动物的遗址，发现了几十种新的哺乳动物物种，并在许多情况下发表了文章——所有这些都是斯特顿的远见和决心的结果。

R. A. Stirton: pioneer of Australian mammalian palaeontology

ABSTRACT Beginning in 1953, under the inspired leadership of R.A. Stirton, in just over one decade, a systematic program to discover new fossil sites and specimens of Australian terrestrial mammals, dramatically increased the knowledge of their Neogene history on this continent. At the beginning of this program, only a single incomplete skeleton and a handful of isolated teeth of terrestrial mammals were known from three sites. When Stirton died in 1966, nine additional Neogene terrestrial mammal sites had been found and dozens of new species of mammals had been recognized, and in many cases published on – all the result of Stirton’s foresight and determination.
