Published in the mid-20th century, 'Pleistocene Pocket Gophers from San Josecito Cave, Nuevo Leon, Mexico' by Robert J. Russell is a scientific examination of pocket gopher fossils found in San Josecito Cave. This work provides insights into the Pleistocene era's mammalian fauna, particularly geomyids, and discusses their evolutionary history and distribution in northeastern Mexico. Russell analyzes well-preserved specimens, detailing their characteristics and ecological context, suggesting a tropical climate during their existence, and contributing to the understanding of mammalian evolution and climate change during the Pleistocene epoch.
