Latest Cretaceous megaraptorid theropod dinosaur sheds light on megaraptoran evolution and palaeobiology [PDF]
Recent fossil discoveries have cast considerable light on the palaeobiology of Megaraptora, a group of large-clawed carnivorous theropod dinosaurs known from Cretaceous deposits in Asia, Australia, and especially South America.

Sandstone petrography and provenance of the Chubut Group (Cretaceous) in the Cañadón Matasiete (Golfo San Jorge Basin, central Patagonia): Implications for basin evolution and alluvial organization [PDF]
Abstract Sandstone petrographic data have been used to investigate the provenance of the Matasiete, Pozo D-129, and Castillo formations (Chubut Group) in the Canadon Matasiete, San Bernardo Fold Belt at Golfo San Jorge Basin, Argentina. Available petrographical data provides evidence of several distinctive volcanic source areas, with minor ...

We describe Liolaemus attenboroughi sp. nov., a lizard distributed in the northwestern Patagonian Steppe of Chubut province (Argentina) previously confused with L. kingii (Bell 1843). Recent studies based on molecular evidence supports its evolutionary independence.

Early angiosperm fossil leaves in Chubut Group, Cretaceous, Argentina [PDF]
The oldest angiosperm leaves from Patagonia were reported from Baquero Formation (Barremian-Aptian) in a mesofitic flora of more than one hundred gymnosperm and fern species. The next younger records are from the Chubut Group, a thick assemblage of pyroclastic sediments, with sand and conglomerate facies and frequent paleosols.

THE ROLE OF TELOGENETIC INJECTION OF MAGMATICALLY DERIVED CO2IN THE FORMATION OF DAWSONITE FROM THE CASTILLO FORMATION, CHUBUT GROUP, PATAGONIA, ARGENTINA [PDF]
We report the occurrence of dawsonite, NaAlCO 3 (OH) 2 , in volcaniclastic rocks of the Albian hydrocarbon reservoir Castillo Formation, Golfo San Jorge Basin, neighboring the Canadon Asfalto Basin in Patagonia; this is the first known occurrence in Argentina.

Patagonian broken foreland and related synorogenic rifting: The origin of the Chubut Group Basin
Abstract The Central Patagonia is characterized by prominent continental deposits that belong to the Cretaceous Chubut Group Basin, whose tectonic setting remains controversial. It has been interpreted as a foreland basin, an extensional basin and even as a sag stage of a rift event. Related deposits outcrop as part of the Patagonian broken foreland,

A brachiosaurid sauropod from the Late Jurassic Cañadón Calcáreo Formation of Chubut, Argentina [PDF]
Fragmentary sauropod remains from the Late Jurassic (Tithonian) Cañadón Calcáreo Formation of Chubut, Argentinean Patagonia, are derived from a taxon of large size, but with very slender forelimbs.

Cenomanian-? early Turonian minimum age of the Chubut Group, Argentina: SHRIMP U–Pb geochronology
Abstract Four new SHRIMP U–Pb zircon ages older than 93 Ma from samples of the two uppermost formations accumulated in two different depocenters (Golfo de San Jorge and Canadon Asfalto basins) of the Chubut Group in central Argentinean Patagonia, establish a pre-late Cenomanian-? early Turonian age for the group.
