A new Stegotheriini (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Dasypodidae) from the "Notohippidian" (early Miocene) of Patagonia, Argentina
(E Schweizerbartsche Verlags, 2009-04)
We describe a new species of Stegotherium (Xenarthra, Stegotheriini, Dasypodidae), S. notohippidensis, based on specimens from two localities in the vicinity of Lago Argentino (Santa Cruz province, Argentina). Based on the ...
First record and a new species of seriema (Aves: Ralliformes: Cariamidae) from santacrucian (Early-middle miocene) beds of Patagonia
(Taylor & Francis, 2009-06)
The extant seriemas are long-legged cursorial birds which represent surviving relicts in South America of an early gruiform radiation within the suborder Cariamae. Phorusrhacids, idiornithids, and bathornithids are also ...

Mass estimation of Santacrucian sloths from the Early Miocene Santa Cruz Formation of Patagonia, Argentina
(Polish Academy of Sciences. Institute of Paleobiology, 2014-08)
Miocene deposits of the Santa Cruz Formation, Patagonia, comprise a diverse and excellently preserved vertebrate fauna, allowing detailed paleobiological and paleoecological studies based on three ecological parameters: ...
Muscular reconstruction and functional morphology of the hind limb of santacrucian (Early Miocene) sloths (Xenarthra, Folivora) of Patagonia
(Wiley-liss, div John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2015-05)
This article presents a morphofunctional analysis of the hind limb of Santacrucian (Early Miocene) sloths from southernmost Patagonia (Argentina). These fossil sloths were mid sized to large animals, ranging from 40 to 120 ...
An approach to the biomechanics of the masticatory apparatus of early Miocene (Santacrucian Age) South American ungulates (Astrapotheria, Litopterna, and Notoungulata): Moment arm estimation based on 3D landmarks
(Springer, 2012-01)
Notoungulates, litopterns, and astrapotheres are among the most representative mammals of the early Miocene Santacrucian Age. They comprise a diversity of biological types and sizes, from small forms, comparable to rodents, ...
