Abstract The Alum Shale Formation of Baltica preserves one of the most continuous and fossil-rich records for the Cambrian Period. Thus, the Alum Shale is a key sedimentary archive for refining global chronostratigraphy,...

The family Cardiliidae has been scarcely studied. It was historically placed in the superfamily Mactroidea. Members of this family are characterized by a cordiform shell with a typical mactrid hinge, posterior adductor m...

This study reports LA-ICP-MS U–Pb ages and Lu–Hf isotope data of detrital zircons from sedimentary rocks of the Nanduan Formation in the Changning–Menglian tectonic belt. The U–Pb age spectra display three domina...

Sauropodomorph dinosaurs dominated the herbivorous niches during the first 40 million years of dinosaur history (Late Triassic–Early Jurassic), yet palaeobiological factors that influenced their evolutionary success ar...

This study aims to test the effectiveness of sawdust as an alternative fuel to replace coal in a 50 MW power plant in an effort to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and have a negative impact on the environment. The use ...

Se realizó el relevamiento de las sedimentitas de la Formación Montaña (Triásico) en el área de Santa Clara, en el norte de la provincia de Mendoza, Argentina. Durante el levantamiento de datos se determinó la exis...

Describimos material de peces colectados en niveles continentales del Triásico Superior temprano de la Formación Chañares (localidades de Campo de Córdoba y El Torcido). Los materiales corresponden a un fragmento de ...

The Microbiotheria constitutes a group of Australidelphian marsupials from South America. The biochron of the Microbiotheria extends from the early Paleocene to the present with a single living species (Dromiciops gliroi...

Terrestrial Triassic assemblages are an important component of the heritage of Argentina, particularly because of their diverse record of fossil vertebrates. Triassic basins from western Argentina have a good representat...

The record of the genus Tapirus in South America is associated with the faunistic events of the Great American Biotic Interchange (GABI). The taxon is considered an immigrant of Holarctic origin. Although remains are sca...

Neogene deposits of northwestern Argentina host an outstanding ichnological record of the Cenozoic vertebrate faunas developed within a context of continental isolation in South America. The Vinchina (Middle to Late Mioc...

The fossils of the India Muerta Formation (Neogene, Tucumán Province, Northwestern Argentina) include several vertebrate groups, mainly metatherian, xenarthran, and notoungulate mammals. Nevertheless, these remains have...

Dysnoetoporidae is a family of cheilostome bryozoans including only the genus Dysnoetopora Canu and Bassler, 1926, with three recognized species from the Late Cretaceous of the United States, Crimea, and Germany. The aim...

This article describes the first fossils recorded in the Hernandarias Formation (Pleistocene) in Entre Ríos province (eastern Argentina). They are represented by three teeth assigned to the caviomorph rodents (Rodentia,...

En este trabajo se describen restos del caparazón de una tortuga que constituyen el primer registro del género dulceacuícola Trachemys Agassiz, 1857 y de la familia Emydidae Rafinesque, 1815 en la provincia de Córdob...

Here we report the first example of associated short-faced bear fossils from South America. The specimens represent three individuals referable to the Ensenadan (early to middle Pleistocene) species Arctotherium angustid...

Los mamíferos del Pleistoceno superior de la provincia de Entre Ríos constituyen la paleomastofauna más diversa, abundante y estratigráficamente acotada del Cuaternario de la Mesopotamia argentina. Se reconocen 33 es...

Los análisis paleopatológicos de muestras óseas de pequeños mamíferos son poco usuales. Se describen y discuten en este caso diferentes tipos de lesiones identificadas en mamíferos de menos de 0,2 kg recuperados de...

The path to mammalness is well documented in the fossil record of Therapsida. Cynodontia is a group that includes living mammals and a series of stem fossil taxa that are individualized under the paraphyletic name of non...

Damos a conocer aquí el primer registro fósil de Procyon cancrivorus (Cuvier, 1798) para la República Argentina. El individuo PVE-F 44 (primer molar inferior) fue rescatado de niveles asignables al Pleistoceno Tardío...

The record of the South American fossil Squamata extends from the Late Cretaceous to the Holocene. The recorded families are Iguanidae s.l., Teiidae, Gekkonidae, ?Scincidae, Amphisbaenidae, Boidae, Aniliidae, Colubridae ...

The Mesozoic sedimentary variations at the main central Andes between 30° and 33° latitude S were dominated principally by fluctuations of the sea level and its capacity to overpass the current arc topography during th...

We present new biostratigraphic data provided by ammonites, calcareous nannofossils, and calpionellids from Las Alcantarillas, a 127 m-thick section from the Neuquén Basin, western Argentina. The combined biostratigraph...

The systematics, and the geographic and stratigraphic distribution of the South American fossil taxa of Tremarctinae (Carnivora, Ursidae) are reviewed and discussed. New diagnostic characters are proposed, in order to su...
