Our copy of "Paleaeoecology and Palaeoenvironments of Late Cenozoic Mammals" came to us back in 1999 when we were living in the woods beside Jordan Lake in Chatham County, NC.
Palaeoecology and Palaeoenvironments of Late Cenozoic Mammals
Mastodons, Camels, Horses, and Cats
"Mastodons, camels, horses, and cats". Today's passage evokes images of rolling grasslands with herds of camels. Like the remains in fossil deposits assigned to the Pliocene. Which in geological time is the present day.

Spread of Grasslands
"Climatic changes in temperate latitudes that allowed the spread of grasslands." Grasslands are a habitat type, not a period of time. The remains of them have been preserved as fossils.
