Full textThe entrance chamber of Robertson Cave contains the most complete Holocene vertebrate deposit yet found at Naracoorte Caves, South Australia. The deposit dates from ~946 to 24090 Cal yr BP, spanning the ‘youngest’ part of the ~500,000 year Naracoorte fossil record. This study examined previously unstudied entrance chamber material, focussing primarily on the mammal fauna. Fossils were first sorted for diagnostic specimens and then identified to taxon. Taphonomic analysis of bone breakages, corrosion, manganese staining and hairline fracturing were completed. Statistical significance of faunal community composition across 12 excavation layers was analysed using chi-squared tests, along with comparisons between a similar, contemporaneous site, Wet Cave, and the modern mammal faunas for the region. Rarefaction was undertaken to ensure that the sample size from the deposit was sufficient to assess community structure. Palaeoecological analysis revealed the mammal fauna was composed largely of small herbivores and insectivores, with larger herbivores and only two larger carnivores. Assessment of the abundance of Anura in comparison with the mammalian fauna showed that in excavation layers 3 and 4, there was a much higher ratio of mammals; particularly Muridae, to Anura, which correlates to ~3819 to 10224 years ago. Taphonomic analysis of corrosion and breakages suggest the faunal assemblage was accumulated primarily as an owl deposit, aligning with prior work. The owl species was likely Tyto novaehollandiae, as indicated by the prey size range. Limited manganese staining and hairline fracturing of the bones suggest the cave environment remained relatively dry over time and has not experienced frequent significant wetting and drying. The inferred vegetation for the area immediately around the cave entrance was open, dry sclerophyll forest. Additionally, open mallee heathland was likely present in the region. Overall, Robertson Cave has a well-preserved diverse fossil assemblage that warrants further research.

Full textThe drivers of the Australia-wide megafaunal extinction during the late Pleistocene remains poorly resolved. Hypotheses include individual or synergistic combinations of climate fluctuations, human impacts through hunting or habitat alteration by landscape burning. Moreover, the relationship between extinction dynamics and long term glacial - interglacial timescales is not yet understood. Using a series of complementary geochronology, palaeoecological and geochemical techniques on a sedimentary sequence in Alexandra Cave, Naracoorte, this study provides improved reconstructions of past climates in south-east South Australia around the time of megafaunal extinction. Ten luminescence dating samples constrain the age of the sedimentary sequence to 17.7 – 106.3 ka. Palaeoenvironmental reconstructions undertaken using charcoal, carbon isotopes and geochemical analysis reveal high fire frequency and precipitation during Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5, while MIS 4 and the Last Glacial Maximum were arid, with low fire frequency. MIS 3 was wet, with little fluctuation in the environment, with the exception of a change in biomass burning at 36 – 50 ka. These findings suggest that climate change likely played a minor role in the demise of megafauna locally, whereas changes in fire regime could have acted as a more significant driver or consequence of megafauna extinction.

Full textThe stable carbon (ẟ13C) and oxygen (ẟ18O) isotopic composition of bioapatite from fossilised mammalian tooth material is a well-established proxy for the reconstruction of palaeovegetation and palaeoclimate. The use of small mammals, in particular rodents, has been overlooked in the past for such studies. High abundances of fossilised rodent remains deposited by avian predators in cave deposits, such as Blanche Cave in the Naracoorte Caves World Heritage Area (NCWHA), gives researchers easy access to fossil materials, to which a temporal scale of climate and vegetation change can be reconstructed. ẟ18O and ẟ13C analyses were performed on crushed incisors of three species of Pseudomys (P. auritus, P. australis and P. shortridgei) over the upper 27 layers from Blanche Cave, NCWHA. The relative abundances of the three species were collected from each layer and compiled into climatic-stratigraphic units: pre-glaciation (layers 27-25), early-glaciation (layers 24-20), Last Glacial Maximum (layers 19-15) and deglaciation (layers 13-1). The carbonate-bound component of the bioapatite was analysed for ẟ13C and ẟ18OCO3, as well as the additional analysis of phosphate bound oxygen (ẟ18OPO4) using isotope ratio mass spectrometry. Isotopic signatures from ẟ13C and ẟ18O were used to reconstruct palaeoclimate and palaeovegetation over the four climatic-stratigraphic units, which were compared to existing palaeoclimate studies. As rodents are commonly abundant in fossil deposits, they have the potential of being used to determine climatic and vegetation change associated with extinction events, such as the megafauna extinction in Australia.
