Estimación de la masa corporal en géneros del Orden Notoungulata
Estudios Geologicos, 2012 Los Notoungulata son un grupo de mamíferos fósiles ampliamente diversos y sin representantes vivientes. Prácticamente no se disponen de estimaciones de la masa corporal para la mayoría de los géneros incluidos en este Orden, ni de un método objetivo para

Paleohistology of Caraguatypotherium munozi (Mammalia, Notoungulata, Mesotheriidae) from the early late Miocene of northern Chile: A preliminary ontogenetic approach. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 The Miocene Caragua fossil fauna in northern Chile contains a considerable number (7) of articulated partial skeletons tentatively assigned to Caraguatypotherium munozi (Notoungulata, Mesotheriidae), which presents up to 40% body size difference.

Phylogeny and paleobiogeography of Hegetotheriidae (Mammalia, Notoungulata) [PDF]
Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2017 Hegetotheriidae es una de las familias más derivadas del orden Notoungulata. Se compone de dos subfamilias: Hegetotheriinae, que se resuelve como parafilética en las filogenias más recientes, y Pachyrukhinae, que históricamente se considera monofilética.

Morphofunctional Space of the Forelimb in Caraguatypotherium munozi (Notoungulata; Mesotheriidae): Insights Into Wrist-Powered Digging. [PDF]
J MorpholCaraguatypotherium munozi displays a distinctive morphofunctional configuration combining high wrist flexor leverage with reduced elbow mechanical advantage—traits consistent with wrist‐dominated scratch‐digging. Multivariate analyses place it outside the core morphospaces of extant locomotor groups.

From fossil trader to paleontologist: on Swiss-born naturalist Santiago Roth and his scientific contributions [PDF]
Swiss Journal of Palaeontology, 2023 Roth’s explorations, the resulting collections many now allocated in La Plata, Zurich, Geneva and Copenhagen, and his significant contributions in geological—especially stratigraphic—and paleontological topics, are a paradigmatic case for the global ...

Hypercanines: Not just for sabertooths. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Hypercanines are here defined as hypertrophied caniniform teeth, that is, canine teeth that are elongated to serve specific functions in different clades of mammals and their synapsid ancestors. This article presents an overview of the occurrence of hypercanines, their growth, and their function across a broad range of clades.

Morphofunctional Spaces from the Astragalus: Exploring Angular Excursions and Mechanical Efficiency in Caraguatypotherium munozi (Notoungulata, Mesotheriidae) [PDF]
BiologyThe astragalus is a key biomechanical link between the autopodium and limb in mammals, modulating stability and mobility during stance. Its morphology provides reliable proxies for inferring posture, body mass, and locomotor behavior in extinct taxa ...

Ontogenetic variations and structural adjustments in mammals evolving prolonged to continuous dental growth [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Studying dental ontogeny in mammals can provide valuable insight on the evolution of their masticatory apparatus and their related adaptations. The multiple acquisitions of a prolonged to continuous growth of teeth in herbivorous mammals in response to ...
