TABLE 1. Local fauna names, locality descriptors, and counties for fossil castorid occurrences discussed in this paper. A number of these local faunas include additional localities that lack castorids. Archival records for TMM 71 (Point Blank) are somewhat uncertain. Our use of this locality descriptor is based on Hesse (1942) and locality maps at The University of Texas Vertebrate Paleontology Collections.
