Approximately 346 species of vertebrates are represented in the Quaternary fossil record of New Mexico. These include 4 fishes, 1 salamander, 13 anurans, 5 turtles, 19 lizards, 23 snakes, 119 birds, and 162 mammals. Some 22 taxa are from the vicinity of the Blancan/Irvingtonian transition, 12 most likely are Irvingtonian, and 4 are possibly Illinoian in age. Although many sites are undated with precision, most remaining sites probably are Wisconsinan, with well over 300 taxa.Description:
