TITLE: Miocene mammals, stratigraphy and environment of Muruarot Hill, Kenya
AUTHOR: Cary T. Madden
JOURNAL: PaleoBios
PUBLISHED: 1972
NOTES: no. 14
ABSTRACT: Fossil mammals from Muruarot Hill in northwestern Kenya are conspecific with mammals in the Early Miocene fauna of Rusinga Island indicating that the age of the Muruarot Hill fauna, long disputed, is almost certainly Early Miocene. Analyses of the sediments and the gastropod and mammal fauna indicates that the paleoenvironment of the site was probably semi-arid and relatively open with shallow, swampy lakes.
