"The Pinto Basin in Joshua Tree National Park is a recognized but largely unexplored site for Quater- nary fossil remains. Sediments in this area have yielded abundant but fragmentary Pleistocene vertebrate fossils. Remains consist primarily of isolated dental and distal appendicular elements. Large and small horses and camels are most commonly represented, but specifically diagnostic fossils are rare. New investigations initiated by the San Bernardino County Museum, in cooperation with Joshua Tree National Park and the Joshua Tree National Park Association, focus on renewed recovery and preservation of vertebrate fossils as well as their geologic, strati- graphic and taphonomic contexts. More than 80 fossil localities have been identified since early 2003. G" Note "Study Area" Source for the above stuff. []
