The southwest coastal region of Florida offers one of the               richest sequences of shelly marine faunas representing the last                 five million years of biological evolution in the region.  This                 interval is of great interest because of its fundamental                        environmental and biotic changes including closure of the                       Panamanian seaway, reorganization of the Gulf Stream, severing                  of the Pacific-Atlantic connection between marine faunas and                    the interchange of North and South American land faunas.                                Recent work by Florida State Museum parties has shown that              potentially rich land animal samples interfinger with the well-                 known marine mollusk faunas in southwest Florida.  These                        vertebrate samples will be enlarged and studied, and they are                   expected to greatly improve the precision of present dating of                  the entire late Neogene sequence in the region.  At the same                    time, intensive analysis of the largely neglected gastropod                     mollusks in the marine faunas will be undertaken.  A relatively                 new approach to checking the correlation of these same marine                   and non-marine faunas will be tried, using strontium isotope                    ratios, in comparison with the sequence based on world-wide                     marine readings.  This work is urgent because the major                         excavations now open will be closed and forever buried in about                 two years.
