Early Jurassic marine gastropods are well represented in Argentina by three major taxa: Vetigastropoda, Caenogastropoda and Architectibranchia (=Opisthobranchia). The present paper aims at the description of six new ...

The first magnetostratigraphic scales for the Jurassic through Early Cretaceous from the Southern Hemisphere have been constructed over the last decades from marine sections in the Neuquén Basin. Paleomagnetic sites were ...

A new gastropod fauna is reported from Chubut province of west−central Patagonia. Members of Trochoidea, Pseudo−melanoidea, Campaniloidea, and Nerinoidea are recorded from the Early Jurassic (Late Pliensbachian–Early ...

The Jurassic period is an important stage in early mammalian evolution, as it saw the first diversification of this group, leading to the stem lineages of monotremes and modern therian mammals. However, the fossil record ...

Breakup and dispersion stages of Gondwana were ruled by crustal extension. In Patagonia, this regime was associated with the opening of extensional basins from the Jurassic onwards, a process that was interrupted by the ...

By means of facial, stratigraphic, petrographic, geochemical and geochronological studies we characterize the Garamilla Formation, cropping out in the western Nordpatagonian Massif. The studies of these volcanic rocks ...
