Updated synthesis of South American Mesotheriidae (Notoungulata) with emphasis on west-central Argentina
(Muséum d'histoire naturelle de la Ville de Genève, 2018-12)
Doctor Claude Guérin dedicated many years of his research to fossil rhinoceroses, but also to some of the interesting mammals that evolved in South America. This is why I contribute to this volume in his memory with a ...
Mesotheriid (Mammalia, Notoungulata) remains from the Colhuehuapian beds (Early Miocene) of Chichinales Formation, Río Negro Province, Argentina
(Asociación Paleontológica Argentina, 2011-06)
The Mesotheriidae represent one of several clades of the endemic South American ungulate Order †Notoungulata. This clade has some rodent-like adaptations such as hypertrophied upper and lower incisors, highly hypsodont ...
Milk molars or extra premolars in Mesotheriinae (Mesotheriidae, Notoungulata): New insights into an old controversy
(Elsevier, 2013-06)
A recently recovered specimen of Mesotheriinae (Mesotheriidae, Notoungulata) from the late Miocene-early Pliocene of La Rioja Province (Argentina), CRILAR Pv 433, corresponds to an individual with three upper premolars, ...
Multiple skeletal and dental pathologies in a late Miocene mesotheriid (Mammalia, Notoungulata) from the Altiplano of Bolivia: Palaeoecological inferences
(Elsevier Science, 2019-11)
We report a partial adult skeleton of the notoungulate mesotheriid Plesiotypotherium achirense, showing multiple skeletal and dental pathologies, from the late Miocene locality of Achiri, Bolivian Altiplano. The material ...
New mesotheriidae (Mammalia, notoungulata, typotheria), geochronology and tectonics of the Caragua area, northernmost chile
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2005-05)
Few mammal fossils were known from the Altiplano or adjoining parts of northern Chile until recently. We report a partial mesotheriid palate from the vicinity of Caragua (Huaylas Formation) in northernmost Chile. The new ...
First record of mesotheriidae en the late oligocene of Mendoza Province, Argentina
(Asociacion Paleontologica Argentina, 2014-08)
The present paper deals with the description of the first remains of the Family Mesotheriidae in the Quebrada Fiera locality. The fauna from Quebrada Fiera comes from sediments nowadays considered to represent the base of ...
Virtual Endocast Morphology of Mesotheriidae (Mammalia, Notoungulata, Typotheria): New Insights and Implications on Notoungulate Encephalization and Brain Evolution
(Springer, 2017-12)
We provide morphological, quantitative, and qualitative studies of cranial endocasts of mesotheriid notoungulates solving previous open debate on notoungulate endocasts. For that purpose, we use the most accurate digital ...
Snout shape and masticatory apparatus of the rodent-like mesotheriidungulates (Typotheria, Notoungulata): exploring evolutionary trends in dietary strategies through ancestralreconstructions
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-05)
Mesotheriidae were small to medium-sized native South American ungulates. Mesotheriids radiated from the early Oligocene epoch to the early–middle Pleistocene, in two subfamilies: Trachytheriinae and Mesotheriinae. Beyond ...
A new Early Miocene Mesotheriidae (Notoungulata) from the Mariño Formation (Argentina): Taxonomic and biostratigraphic implications
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
Old and new specimens from the early Miocene middle member of theMariño Formation (Mendoza, Argentina) allow for a reinterpretation of a controversial Mesotheriidae taxon. Earlier known remains come from the Divisadero ...
