An exceptionally well-preserved skeleton of Thomashuxleya externa (Mammalia, Notoungulata), from the Eocene of Patagonia, Argentina [PDF]
We describe one of the oldest notoungulate skeletons with associated craniodental and postcranial elements: Thomashuxleya externa (Isotemnidae) from Cañadón Vaca in Patagonia, Argentina (Vacan subage of the Casamayoran SALMA, middle Eocene).

Phylogeny and paleobiogeography of Hegetotheriidae (Mammalia, Notoungulata)
ABSTRACTHegetotheriidae are one of the most derived families of the Order Notoungulata. It is composed of two subfamilies: Hegetotheriinae, which resolves as paraphyletic in most recent phylogenies, and Pachyrukhinae, which historically is considered monophyletic. The family is recognized from late Oligocene to Pliocene and is well diversified from its

Interatheriidae (Typotheria; Notoungulata), body size and paleoecology characterization
Abstract Size has a major influence on animal's adaptation to its environment and is central to paleobiological characterization of fossil mammals. We present new models of body mass estimation for the Interatheriidae (Notoungulata, Typotheria). This small herbivorous mammals extends from the late Paleocene to the late Miocene and they are very well ...

Registros paleógenos de glyptodontidae propalaehoplophorinae (xenarthra, cingulata) en áreas extrapatagónicas [PDF]
Los registros paleógenos de Cingulata Glyptodontidae son muy escasos y los mejores conocidos provienen de la actual región patagónica de Argentina. Dos subfamilias han sido descritas: Glyptatelinae y Propalaehoplophorinae.

On the basis of selected osteological markers, Patterson (1936) identified two pathways (here designated A and B) along which the internal carotid artery in notoungulates was said to travel in order to enter the skull and supply the brain. The existence of these pathways, at least as Patterson defined them, has been disputed but no substantive ...
