A new late Cretaceous squamate from Patagonia sheds light on Gondwanan diversity [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The fossil record of Mesozoic terrestrial squamates is very poor in the Southern Hemisphere. Currently recognised species represent less than 6% of the number described for Laurasian landmasses.
