The Evolution of Mid-Latitude Faunas During the Eocene: Late Eocene Lizards of the Medicine Pole Hills Reconsidered
- Krister T. Smith
- Geography, Biology
- 3 May 2011
This work represents the first attempt to associate significant amounts of cranial material from a large number of closely related species and shows considerable faunal continuity, consistent with the notion that middle and high latitudes were warmer in the late Eocene than previously thought.
A DIVERSE NEW ASSEMBLAGE OF LATE EOCENE SQUAMATES ( REPTILIA ) FROM THE CHADRON FORMATION OF NORTH DAKOTA ,
- A. U.S, Krister T. Smith
- Environmental Science
- 2006
The current fossil record of squamates across the Eocene/Oligocene boundary in central North America is perplexing in that it shows a marked increase in species richness in response to climatic…
Fossil lizard from central Europe resolves the origin of large body size and herbivory in giant Canary Island lacertids

- Environmental Science, Geography
- 1 April 2016
Pseudeumeces confirms the early origin of crown Lacertidae in the Palaeogene of Europe, and shows that large body size was already achieved on the European mainland by the early Miocene, demonstrating that insularity, not largeBody size, was crucial to the evolution of herbivory in this lineage.
