Foraminiferal paleodiversity and paleoenvironments at the NE coastal plain of Buenos Aires province (Argentina) during the Mid-Holocene sea level highstand
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2020-01)
In this investigation, we carried out a Mid-Holocene paleoenvironmental reconstruction based on fossilized benthic foraminifera, retrieved from sedimentary deposits located in Bahía Samborombón coastal plain. A total of ...
A Pliocene–Pleistocene continental biota from Venezuela
(Springer, 2021-05)
The Pliocene–Pleistocene transition in the Neotropics is poorly understood despite the major climatic changes that occurred at the onset of the Quaternary. The San Gregorio Formation, the younger unit of the Urumaco Sequence, ...
Eocene caviomorph rodents from Balsayacu (Peruvian Amazonia)
(Springer, 2022)
The Paleogene record of caviomorph rodents has substantially increased over the last decades, and their evolutionary history better understood by the discovery of their earliest representatives, so far recorded in several ...
A new Miocene turtle from Colombia sheds light on the evolutionary history of the extant genus Mesoclemmys Gray, 1873
Mesoclemmys is the most diverse extant genus of South American pleurodires or side-necked turtles, with at least 10 species inhabiting fluvial to littoral environments. Despite this high extant diversity and extensive ...
Late early Miocene caviomorph rodents from Laguna del Laja (~37° S), Cura-Mallín Formation, south-central Chile
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-05-31)
Despite recent efforts, the paleodiversity of the Neogene mammals in Chile remains poorly known, with several putative new species awaiting description. For example, previous studies suggest that the early to late Miocene ...
Late middle Eocene Caviomorph Rodents from Contamana, Peruvian Amazonia
(Coquina Press, 2017-04)
Caviomorph rodents represent one of the most successful groups of placental mammals from South America. Despite their modern, Neogene and late Paleogene high diversity, their early evolutionary history has long remained ...
Cupressaceous woods in the Upper Cretaceous Cabullona Group in Fronteras, Sonora, Mexico
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-12)
Recent fossil findings of well-preserved plants in deposits of the Cabullona Group (Campanian-Maastrichtian) indicate that in this region grew an abundant flora. In order to contribute to the knowledge of its paleodiversity, ...
Comprehensive database on Induan (Lower Triassic) to Sinemurian (Lower Jurassic) marine bivalve genera and their paleobiogeographic record
(University of Kansas. Paleontological Institute, 2014-04)
Marine bivalve genera that were described or mentioned for Triassic and Lower Jurassic deposits worldwide are reviewed in terms of their validity, stratigraphic range, paleogeographic distribution, paleoautoecology and ...
Deep time diversity of metatherian mammals: Implications for evolutionary history and fossil-record quality
(Paleontological Society, 2018-05)
Despite a global fossil record, Metatheria are now largely restricted to Australasia and South America. Most metatherian paleodiversity studies to date are limited to particular subclades, time intervals, and/or regions, ...
