ABSTRACT: The Vedder mammal locality of Hemingfordian Land Mammal Age is located in a non-marine tongue of the predominantly marine Branch Canyon Formation. The Branch Canyon Formation has "Temblor" Stage megainvertebrate fossils and Saucesian Stage foraminiferal fossils. Taxa from the locality include a shrew (cf. Limnoecus sp.), mole (Scalopoides sp.), bat (?Phyllostomatidae), rabbit (Hypolagus cf. H. apachensis), pika (Cuyamalagus dawsoni n. gen., n. sp.), ground squirrel (Miospermophilus sp.), and flying squirrel (Blackia sp.). Rodents and horses to be discussed in subsequent parts of the faunal study form the basis for the age determination of the fauna.
