St. Marks River Fauna 31 



Family Camelidae 

 Camelidae gen. et sp. indet. 

 Material— Proximal phalanges, UGAMNH1647, 1648; right 

 scaphoid, UGAMNH1649; right astragalus, UGAMNH1650; right 

 scapula, UGAMNH1651; left proximal femoral fragment, UGAMNH1652. 

 Remarks — These specimens have distinctive camelid familial 

 characters, but cannot be assigned to a particular species. 



Hemiauchenia macrocephala (Cope) 

 Large-headed Llama 

 Material— Proximal phalanges, UGAMNH2151, 2152. 

 Remarks — The identification of these elements to Hemiauchenia 

 macrocephala is based on the size of the phalanges. According to 

 Webb (1974/?), H. macrocephala was a plains and grasslands inhabitant. 

 The stratigraphic range is Wisconsinan to Recent (Kurten and Anderson 

 1980). Because this species has such a limited stratigraphic range, at 

 least a portion of the deposit can be correlated to the Wisconsinan. 



Paleolama mirifica (Simpson) 

 Stout-legged Llama 



Material — Left proximal metacarpal fragment, UGAMNH2146; right 

 humerus, UGAMNH2145; left metatarsus, UGAMNH2158; left M 3 , UGAMNH2147; 

 metapodial, UGAMNH2148; right distal humerus, UGAMNH2149; left 

 pisiform, UGAMNH2150. 



Remarks — The stratigraphic range is late Irvingtonian to 

 Wisconsinan (Kurten and Anderson 1980). Webb (1974b) reports them 

 to be an inhabitant of grasslands and savannahs. Specimen 

 UGAMNH2158, a left metatarsus, has longitudinal cracks indicative 

 of weathering prior to fossilization.
