| TITLE: | A re-evaluation of mandibles of Allodesmus (Otariidae, Carnivora) from the Round Mountain Silt, Kern County, California
| | AUTHOR: | Lawrence G. Barnes
| | JOURNAL: | PaleoBios
| | PUBLISHED: | Apr 15, 1970
| | NOTES: | no. 10
| | ABSTRACT: | A series of Allodesmus mandibles from the late middle Miocene Sharktooth Hill bonebed in the Round Mountain Silt of Kern County, California forms the basis for a study of the variation in a sample including the holotype of A. kelloggi Mitchell (1966). The range of variation in the sample encompasses the features of the holotype of A. kernensis Kellogg (1922), and A. kelloggi is therefore considered a junior synonym of A. kernensis. The mandibles show variation in the position of teeth and the development of other structures. The magnitude of variation is comparable to that in a series of mandibles of the living species Zalophus califonianus Lesson.
