Abstract

The Taylor Bayou local fauna (Decapoda, Osteichthyes, Anura, Chelonia, Crocodilia, Glyptodontidae, Cricetidae, Hydrochoeridae, Leporidae, Canidae, Equidae, Bovidae, Cervidae) is a Pleistocene lacustrine deposit from Harris County, Texas (USA). Due to the similarity to the Sims Bayou local fauna and the Ingleside fauna, the Taylor Bayou local fauna is referred to the same age, late Wisconsin, 35,000 to 50,000 B.P. A complete faunal list of mammals is included.
