Juscelinomys Guaporensis
''Juscelinomys'' is a genus of burrowing mice. The name is derived from Brazilian president Juscelino Kubitschek who created the city of Brasilia where the Brasilia burrowing mouse was discovered. There are two living species: * †''J. candango'' Candango mouse * ''J. guaporensis'' Rio Guaporé mouse * ''J. huanchacae'' Huanchaca mouse A fourth species, ''J. talpinus'', is known only from subfossil A fossil (from Classical Latin , ) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age. Examples include bones, shells, exoskeletons, stone imprints of animals or microbes, objects preserved in ... remains. Some authorities treat it as a distinct species or a senior synonym for one or all species in ''Juscelinomys''. References * {{Taxonbar, from=Q910254 Rodent genera ...

Pleistocene
The Pleistocene ( , often referred to as the ''Ice age'') is the geological Epoch (geology), epoch that lasted from about 2,580,000 to 11,700 years ago, spanning the Earth's most recent period of repeated glaciations. Before a change was finally confirmed in 2009 by the International Union of Geological Sciences, the cutoff of the Pleistocene and the preceding Pliocene was regarded as being 1.806 million years Before Present (BP). Publications from earlier years may use either definition of the period. The end of the Pleistocene corresponds with the end of the last glacial period and also with the end of the Paleolithic age used in archaeology. The name is a combination of Ancient Greek grc, label=none, πλεῖστος, pleīstos, most and grc, label=none, καινός, kainós (latinized as ), 'new'. At the end of the preceding Pliocene, the previously isolated North and South American continents were joined by the Isthmus of Panama, causing Great American Interchang ...

Juscelinomys Huanchacae
The Huanchaca mouse or Huanchaca akodont (''Juscelinomys huanchacae'') is a rodent species in the family Cricetidae. It is known from savannas in an area at an elevation of in Serrania Huanchaca, Noel Kempff Mercado National Park in eastern Bolivia. Description The Huanchaca mouse is a fairly uniform olive-brown colour, the pelage being about in length along the spine. The individual hairs on the back and flanks have grey bases, dark shafts and either black or yellowish tips. The ventral pelage is grey or yellowish buff.

The tail is well-covered with stiff, dark-coloured hairs on the upper surface and paler hairs underneath. Distribution and habitat This mouse is endemic to eastern Bolivia.

Subfossil
A fossil (from Classical Latin , ) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age. Examples include bones, shells, exoskeletons, stone imprints of animals or microbes, objects preserved in amber, hair, petrified wood and DNA remnants. The totality of fossils is known as the ''fossil record''. Paleontology is the study of fossils: their age, method of formation, and evolutionary significance. Specimens are usually considered to be fossils if they are over 10,000 years old. The oldest fossils are around 3.48 billion years old to 4.1 billion years old. Early edition, published online before print. The observation in the 19th century that certain fossils were associated with certain rock strata led to the recognition of a geological timescale and the relative ages of different fossils. The development of radiometric dating techniques in the early 20th century allowed scientists to quantitatively measure the absolute ...
