What are the most accurate categories for mammal tarsus arrangement? A review with attention to South American Notoungulata and Litopterna [PDF]
Abstract The arrangement of the tarsus has been used to differentiate afrotherian and laurasiatherian ungulates for more than a century, and it is often present in morphological matrices that include appendicular features. Traditionally, it has two states: (i) an alternating tarsus, where proximal elements are interlocked with central and distal ...

ABSTRACT The first skull associated with postcranial elements of Macraucheniidae (Litopterna) from the Sarmiento Formation in Cabeza Blanca (Chubut, Argentina) are described herein. The material consists of a nearly complete skull, nearly complete right humerus, left metacarpal IV, and three phalanges (proximal, intermediate, and distal of the same ...

Abstract. Three orders of South American extinct native ungulates are recorded from the Santa Cruz Formation along the Atlantic coast of Patagonia: Notoungulata (Adinotherium Ameghino, Nesodon Owen, Interatherium Ameghino, Protypotherium Ameghino, Hegetotherium Ameghino, and Pachyrukhos Ameghino), Litopterna (Theosodon Ameghino, Anisolophus Burmeister,

A systematic update of the species of Proterotheriidae (Litopterna) from the “Mesopotamiense” of Entre Rios Province (Argentina) is performed, and their phylogenetic relationships with other members of the family are tested. Brachytherium cuspidatum Ameghino is validated (considered nomen dubium hitherto) and a sexual dimorphism is proposed for this ...

Taphonomic analysis of the late Pleistocene small mammals of Quequén Salado river, Buenos Aires, Argentina [PDF]
A taphonomic analysis was made on small mammal remains recovered from fossil bone accumulations, interpreted as whole and fragmented pellets from Upper Pleistocene levels of the Quequén Salado River cliffs (Buenos Aires, Argentina).
