Host country: United Kingdom

Project objective: To improve taxonomic knowledge of one the earliest mammal faunas in Europe (55 million years before present).  Although elements of this fauna were first discovered in the late 19th Century, many species remain little known and in some cases it is not certain as to which Order or Family of mammals, individual taxa belong.
