New page: Quaternary vertebrate inventories (USA)

There's an electronic stack of topics I've considered for blog posts, and within that a subset earmarked "do before hanging up the keyboard". One of these, almost from the very beginning, was a bibliography of Quaternary vertebrate locality inventories like the kind Oliver Perry Hay pulled together. Being a detail hoarder, I've always loved having this kind of information. Maybe I'm the only one, but it's my blog and if I want to put together a page of old locality lists, I'll do it. One might think "If I have to find this information, all I need is the Paleobiology Database" and call it a day, to which I just smile and nod politely. Anyway, you can find the page here.

Pop quiz! Mammoth or mastodon?
