摘要: Abstract We describe and analyze the postcranial skeleton of Wasatchian rodents based on more than 30 new skeletal associations representing at least four genera six species, all but one species attributed to Paramyidae. The limb paramyids is relatively homogeneous across similar that extant sciurids. It shows a combination arboreal terrestrial features, often manifested in same element, although general forelimb displays whereas hind dominated by traits. anatomy suggests they were locomotor behavior habitat preference most generalized present-day squirrels, being Spermophilus Sciurus. They probably equally adept ground trees. In view their antiquity basal position among Rodentia, provide important information morphotypic con...
