UTEP Fossils (Arctos)

<p>The Vertebrate Paleobiology collections concentrate on Southwestern Pleistocene fossils, primarily from New Mexican cave faunas, although small numbers of other fossils are held. This catalogue includes specimens for which the UTEP Biodiversity Collections (UTEP-BC) acts as repository, both permanent and temporary. The UTEP-BC currently is repository for large numbers of specimens from lands of the Bureau of Land Management and sites under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense. The primary focus is upon late Pleistocene Southwestern faunas, although there are some Holocene archaeological holdings and some Tertiary material as well. This emphasis primarily reflects the research interests of the curator, Arthur H. Harris, who has maintained and added to the collections since their initial organization in 1965.</p>

该脊椎动物古生物学收藏专注于西南更新世化石，主要来源于新墨西哥州洞穴生物群，尽管也收藏有少量其他化石。本目录收录了由德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校生物多样性收藏（UTEP-BC）作为永久和临时存储库的标本。目前，UTEP-BC是大量来自土地管理局领地和隶属于国防部管辖地遗址的标本的存储库。其主要关注点是晚更新世西南部生物群，尽管也收藏有部分全新世考古资料和第三纪材料。这种重点主要反映了馆员亚瑟·H·哈里斯的研究兴趣，自1965年收藏初步组织以来，他一直致力于维护和扩充这些收藏。
