The literature covered is not complete for the sites considered in this section on Pleistocene Western Vertebrate Fossil Sites. The intention is to add references as time allows.
Since the literature is a download from files used for other purposes rather than specifically tailored for this site, there may be some extraneous material included (numbers for a database reference, reprint numbers, etc.).
For rapid loading, the bibliography has been broken into several sections, as per the menu to the left.
