Spitidiscus is a widely-distributed Hauterivian genus that briefly invaded the Neuquén Basin, Argentina, in mid Hauterivian times, well after it first evolved in the west Tethyan area. Its appearance in Argentina is linked ...

New specimens of the tree fern Tempskya are described from the Mulichinco Formation (Valanginian), Neuquén Basin, Argentina. Tempskya is a genus for permineralized false fern trunks. This extinct genus had a wide distribution ...

The Pseudofavrella angulatiformis Zone (upper Valanginian) of the Agrio Formation in the Neuquén Basin, Argentina, is characterized exclusively by a complex sequence of neocomitid faunas that are sandwiched between the ...

Although the Agrio Formation (Valanginian-Early Barremian) yields rich ammonite faunas at many levels, the highest beds are very sparsely fossiliferous. However, intensive collecting over the years has yielded a sparse ...

The Chañarcillo and Neuquén basins of the Central Andes shared a common geological history in the earlier part of the Early Cretaceous but from Barremian times onward their evolution began to diverge, probably due to an ...

A giant humerus (450 mm total length) belonging to one of the largest pterosaur recorded in South America is described. The specimen (UNCUYO-LD 350) was discovered in the Upper Cretaceous (upper Coniacian - lower Santonian) ...

Trigoniide clams were conspicuous components of bivalve faunas in shallow seas during most of the Mesozoic. Morphological trends in different features of shell shape and ornamentation of three related species of myophorelloids ...

During the Middle Oxfordian, the epicontinental shelf of the Neuquén Basin was a site of major coralline evolution and reef building. This work expounds the studies performed on the La Manga patch reefs at Portada Covunco ...

The Kimmeridgian Quebrada del Sapo Formation in the southernmost Neuquén Basin in Argentina represents a succession up to 40 m thick of coarse- to fine-grained fluvial deposits overlain by aeolian deposits. These fluvial-aeolian ...

Ammonite-based biostratigraphic schemes for the Lower Cretaceous are fairly well refined across the world, from the standard zonation in the West Mediterranean province to the Boreal and Austral provinces in the northern ...
