Abstract In 1822, William Buckland first recognized Pleistocene vertebrate coprolites, and they are now known from more multiple localities with a global distribution. Carnivore coprolites dominate, and there are two distinct biogeographic and taphonomic provinces for vertebrate coprolites in the Pleistocene. The Castrocopros province of North and South America is characterized by a dominance of herbivore coprolites, which are preserved almost exclusively in caves. The Hyaenacoprus province in Africa, Europe and Asia is dominated by hyena coprolites that occur mainly in caves, but also in other depositional environments. Pacific Islands may represent a third province characterized by dominant bird coprolites from caves, but the known localities are all Holocene. Mammuthocopros allenorum ichnogen. and ichnosp. nov. is a coprolite of Mammuthus columbi from Utah, USA.

鬣狗霸权：更新世脊椎动物粪化石的生物地理学和埋藏学，并描述了一种新的猛犸象粪化石分类单元

摘要 1822 年，William Buckland 首次确认了更新世脊椎动物粪化石，现在它们在全球分布的更多地点被发现。食肉动物粪化石占主导地位，更新世脊椎动物粪化石有两个不同的生物地理和埋藏区。北美洲和南美洲的 Castrocopros 省的特点是草食性粪化石占主导地位，它们几乎完全保存在洞穴中。非洲、欧洲和亚洲的鬣狗省以鬣狗粪化石为主，它们主要存在于洞穴中，但也存在于其他沉积环境中。太平洋岛屿可能代表了以洞穴中占主导地位的鸟类粪化石为特征的第三个省，但已知的地点都是全新世。Mammuthocopros allenorum ichnogen。和 ichnosp。十一月
