Description
Table 1. Taxa from the Arkadelphia Formation (Cabot locality, Arkansas, USA) with number of specimens, percentage of total, and occurrences in the Cretaceous and Paleocene of North America. Letters in third and fourth columns refer to the following references: A =Stringer et al. (2020); B = Schwarzhans and Stringer (2020a); C = Schwarzhans et al. (2018b); D = Hoganson et al. (2019); E =Stringer et al. (2018); F = Schwarzhans (1985); G = Frizzell (1965a). References are not inclusive but provide evidence of the range of the species in North America.
