Question: How well does the precipitation estimate method based on fossil mammal evidence correspond with results from the paleobotanical co-existence approach? Data: Large herbivorous fossil mammals and plants for Western Eurasia. Data cover 23 to 2 million years ago. The data come from the NOW database and data compilation of the NECLIME Project. Research method: We used standard statistical methods and GIS to compare plant and mammal proxies at different resolutions and through time. Conclusi
