Last Recorded Evidence For Megafauna At Wet Cave, Naracoorte, South Australia 45,000 Years Ago

Abstract

Over 85 percent of Australian terrestrial vertebrate genera with a body mass greater than 44 kg became extinct during the late Pleistocene. These included all marsupials exceeding I 00 kg ( 19 species) and 22 of the 38 species between l O and I 00 kg. Dwarfing occurred in many other species (Flannery 1990; Miller et al. 1999). The larger of these extinct animals have been categorised as megafauna.
