“…This date was 4.9 Ma ± 0.1 Ma, considerably younger than previous estimates of 10 Ma-8 Ma for the Kittitas basin sections of the Ellensburg Formation (Smith, 1988b;Lamb, 1997). Because cervids are not known from North America prior to 5 million years ago (Webb, 2000;Jiménez-Hidalgo and Bravo-Cuevas, 2014), the discovery of a cervid fossil in the Ellensburg Formation at the base of this outcrop, described here, is consistent with this younger date.…”

“…Odocoileus lucasi is much larger, and while Eocoileus is similar in most measurements, it has a TABLE 1. Summary statistics of Bretzia pseudalces (Gustafson, 2015), 10 specimens of Odocoileus hemionus, one specimen of Odocoileus lucasi (Morejohn and Dailey 2004), Eocoileus gentryorum (Webb, 2000), Capreolus constantini (Vislobokova et al, 1995;Jiménez-Hidalgo and Bravo-Cuevas, 2014), and UWBM VP 117138. Summary statistics are averages in millimeters, plus or minus one standard deviation except in the case of UWBM VP 117138, which is the actual measurement of a single specimen.…”

Summary of diagnostic morphological criteria of Bretzia and Odocoileus as specified in Gustafson (2015), Odocoileus lucasi as figured in Morejohn and Dailey (2004, figure 3), Eocoileus gentryorum (Webb, 2000), Capreolus constantini (Vislobokova et al .1995;Jiménez-Hidalgo and Bravo-Cuevas, 2014), and morphology of UWBM VP 117138. 0 indicates absence, 1 indicates presence, and 0/1 indicates variable presence or absence.…”

“…Bretzia nebrascensis (Gunnell and Foral, 1994) is also a possibility, but only antlers have been described, and thus a comparison with our material was not possible. Eocoileus gentryorum (Webb, 2000) and Capreolus constantini (Vislobokova et al, 1995;Jiménez-Hidalgo and Bravo-Cuevas, 2014) are also considered here. The measurements taken on both molars of UWBM VP 117138 are within two standard deviations of all measurements of Odocoileus, Eocoileus, and Capreolus molars (Table 1).…”

“…The available evidence suggests that Cervidae arrived in North America around 5 million years (Ma) ago and dispersed into South America by approximately 1.5 Ma (Webb, 2000;Jiménez-Hidalgo and Bravo-Cuevas, 2014). The early occurrences of Cervidae in North America are sparse (Jiménez-Hidalgo and Bravo-Cuevas, 2014;Gustafson, 2015), with two localities contending for the earliest record: Bretzia pseudalces from the Ringold Formation in Washington at 4.98 Ma-4.89 Ma (Gustafson, 2015), and Eocoileus gentryorum from the Palmetto local fauna of Florida, USA, at 5 Ma-4.7 Ma (Webb et al, 2008). Odocoileus sp.…”

A new fossil cervid from the Craig's Hill locality of the Miocene-Pliocene Ellensburg Formation in the State of Washington, USA, may be one of the oldest fossil deer yet found in North America, underlying a date of 4.9 Ma ± 0.1 Ma. This mandible fragment with m2, m3, and associated p2 has a size that does not distinguish it from Bretzia pseudalces, Odocoileus hemionus, or Capreolus constantini, and distinguishes it from Eocoileus gentryorum and Odocoileus lucasi only in having a thinner p2. A strong paraconid on the p2, and ectostylids and cingulids on the m2 and m3 link it most strongly with Bretzia pseudalces, but these are also intermittently present in Odocoileus hemionus. Because of the close geographic and temporal proximity of Bretzia pseudalces in the Ringold Formation, and its shared morphology with Bretzia, we are tentatively assigning this specimen to cf. Bretzia.

The article describes the paleobiogeographic history of the modern subfamilies so-called “crown deer” of the family Cervidae (Artiodactyla, Mammalia) in the world from the late Miocene to the late Pleistocene. The study overviews the taxonomic diversity and evolutionary radiation of Cervidae from all zoogeographic realms where this systematic group is present in the paleontological record. The evolutionary diversification of the fossil Cervidae is based on the estimations of species body masses that are regarded here as a proxy of occupied ecological niches. The study reveals two important evolutionary radiations of Cervidae during the late Miocene of Eurasia that gave the origin of the modern subfamilies Cervinae and Capreolinae. The evolutionary radiation of Capreolinae during the Pleistocene in South America shows a range of diversity comparable to the late Miocene radiations of Old World deer and provides multiple examples of evolutionary convergences with Eurasian Pleistocene cervids. The article discusses factors that shaped the modern biogeographic distribution of representatives of the subfamilies Cervinae and Capreolinae.
