记述了发现于陕西镇安黄家湾早更新世晚期的一个大型哺乳动物群。动物群包括哺乳动物4目、11科、24种，它们是：Canis variabilis, Hyaenidae gen. et sp. indet. , Homotherium sp. , Megantereon sp. , Lynx cf. shansius , Panthera pardus , Elephantidae gen. et sp. indet. , Equus qingyangensis , Hesperotherium sinense , Ancylotherium sp. , Megatapirus augustus, Rhinocerotidae gen. et sp. indet. , Dicerorhinus lantianensis, Sus sp. , Moschus moschi ferus , Cervus unicolor , Cervus sp. 1, Cervus sp. 2, Hydropotes sp. , Capreolus sp. , Strepsiceros annectens , Leptobos sp. , Bubalus sp. 和 Budorcas taxicolor等。动物群伴生植物孢粉分析表明，当时在化石产地生长着下列植物：Selaginella sp. , Pinaceae gen. et sp. indet. , Picea sp. , Cotinus coggygria , Juglans regia , Quercus sp. , Myrica rubra , Meliaceae gen. et sp. indet. , Celtis sp. , Oleaceae ( Syringa sp. ?) gen. et sp. indet. , Chenopodiaceae gen. et sp. indet. ,Kobresia sp. , Scrophulariaceae gen. et sp. indet. , Humulus sp. , Gramineae gen. et sp. indet. , Ranunculaceae gen. et sp. indet. , Sparganium sp. ,Celastraceae gen. et sp. indet. ,Elaeagnaceae gen. et sp. indet. ,Compositae gen. et sp. indet. ,Aremisia sp. , Xanthium sibiricum 和Carex sp.等。分析了动物群生活时栖息地的气候、植被和地貌特征，结果表明，动物群栖息在温暖、湿润、有森林、灌丛草地并富有水体的生境中，当时秦岭腹地存在着相当开阔的河谷地带，山势没有现在这么险峻，因此阻断秦岭南北动物交流的天然屏障当时可能还未真正形成，秦岭南北两侧的动物可以沿着开阔的河谷地带随季节和气候的变化互相扩散迁移。
