TheMammuthus-Coelodonta Fauna from Dabusu National Key Fossil Locality, Jilin Prov-ince

Mammuthus-Coelodonta Fauna is the most representative and typical mammalian fauna in the late Pleistocene period in the Northern Hemisphere. The fossils of the fauna are widely distributed in the northeast part of China. Its evolution, development and extinction are closely related to the development of the palaeo-human civilization. This paper summarized the composition, geo-graphical distribution and paleo-environment of the Mammuthus-Coelodonta Fauna. The combined features of the fauna from Dabu-su National Key Fossil Locality in Jilin Province were analyzed. The latest statistics on specimens of the locality have 23 species, 21 ge-nus, 13 families and 6 orders. In addition, the significance of further research on the fauna in the Northeastern China was discussed.
