| The Pleistocene Felidae of Florida - Systematic Descriptions | |
| 1965 Bulletin of the Florida State Museum (9): 221-247 | |
The Pleistocene deposits that have yielded fossil remains of Felidae in Florida may be separated roughly into two age groups, an early probably dating from the Illinoian or early Songamon or both, and a late fauna mainly of Wisconsin date. Seven species of Felidae have been identified in these faunas: Felis atrox, Felis onca, Felis concolor, Felis rufus, Felis pardalis, Felis yagouroundi, Smilodon fatalis, Smilodon floridanus. The size of Smilodon gradually increased during the Middle and Late Plesitocene. |
