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.
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.
Extinction of Some Species

Deposition and lithification of sediment (Noah's flood), had to be before the formation of mountains which are composed of the sediment (Peleg's tectonics). That's an acknowledgement of the relationship of cause and effect
