ABSTRACT: Although the late Pleistocene marine invertebrate record from coastal San Diego County, California is extensive, the terrestrial vertebrate record from this time iis poorly known. By far, the richest known late Pleistocene terrestrial vertebrate site in the coastal portion of the county is San Diego Society of Natural History locality (SDSNH) 3131 (the Glen Abbey site), in the community of Bonita. This locality occurs in an outcrop of stream terrace deposits in the Sweetwater Valley that were referred by previous authors to the Chula Vista terrace. SDSNH 3131 is here assigned a Rancholabrean age based on the presence of Ectopistes migratorius, Notiosorex crawfordi, Peromyscus maniculatus, and Equus. Other species identified are Callipepla californica, Scapanus latimanus, Reithrodontomys megalotis, and Microtus californicus. The Glen Abbey local fauna is here defined as the Rancholabrean vertebrates of SDSNH locality 3131.
