“ Further, approximately two-thirds of the known "Torrejon" genera are recorded by specimens from the Angels Peak pocket. The primate remains present no evidence [Pg 10] for suspecting a difference in age, because the order is otherwise unrecorded in the Torrejonian of New Mexico. The species are in most instances identical or closely allied with those hitherto recognized. It is evident from this that the Angels Peak faunule is more closely correlated in time with the San Juan Torrejonian fauna as a whole than with either the Dragon fauna or the Tiffanian. ”

“ In the summer of 1948, a field party from the University of Kansas was fortunate in finding a local concentration of rather well preserved material at the western edge of the badlands at Angels Peak. Because it probably will be some time before a full account of this faunule can be prepared, it is thought advisable, preliminarily, to give a general statement as to occurrence, and tentatively to list the species. ”

“ Perhaps, this high ratio reflects the imperfectly carnivorous habits of the Paleocene creodonts as a group. One obvious explanation, regardless of probability or merit, is that some of these do not belong to the Carnivora. ”
