Environmental implications of micromammals accumulated close to the MIS 6 to MIS 5 transition at Pinnacle Point Cave 9 (Mossel Bay, Western Cape Province, South Africa)

► Micromammals accumulated at the MIS6/MIS5 transition indicate warm, wet conditions with dense vegetation. ► Conditions at the end of MIS6 may have been relatively grassier with a more open, colder environment. ► The Pinnacle Point fossil sites indicate that C. flavescens was present during MIS 6 and MIS 5e and 5c. ► Crocidura cyanea and Suncus infinitesimus do not appear in the fossil record at Pinnacle Point.
