Reviews

The authors do an excellent job of presenting the current state of knowledge, the result of 167 years of research. They provide a historical summary, put the White River sequence in a wide context, and offer environmental interpretations based on fossils, sediments, ancient soils, and other post-deposition processes.... Highly recommended. Choice

Job well done! -Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology
