Fig. 3. Priabonian (late Eocene) paleogeographic map (after Smith et al. 1994: 29) showing the fossil record of "applegatei-grade" Megachasma (i.e., M. alisonae sp. nov., M. applegatei, or M. cf. M. applegatei) from Eocene, Oligocene, and Miocene–?Pliocene deposits as well as "pelagios-grade" Megachasma (i.e., M. pelagios or M. cf. M. pelagios) from post-Oligocene deposits. Asterisk indicates inferred taxonomic identification (see text).
