Structural variation of the masseter muscle in Typotheria (Mammalia, Notoungulata)
, 2017 The great morphologic diversity of the order Notoungulata is evident in remarkable traits, such as the body size, and this group includes from small, rodent size animals (e.g., Punapithecus) to forms exceeding 1000 kg in weight (e.g., Trigodon). Moreover, several cases of convergence with other placentals are known within the group, with rodent-like ...

Palaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 4, July/August 2025.Abstract Taphonomic studies of Cenozoic mammals are scarce. We report a study of the taphonomy of the Corralito site (Middle Pleistocene to Holocene), Córdoba Province, Argentina, which documents the last population of the South American native ungulate typotherid Mesotherium cristatum. We discovered two specimens of M.

The Initial Opening of the Drake Passage Occurred During ca. 62‐59 Ma
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 7, 16 April 2025.Abstract Although the Drake Passage has been considered a critical component of ocean circulation and climate, its initial opening age remains controversial due to the weak constraints on the paleoposition of the Antarctic Peninsula. Here, new zircon U‐Pb geochronological studies are conducted on the Barchans Islands, providing a critical age ...

Considerações Paleoecológicas sobre os Notoungulados da Formação Tremembé,Bacia de Taubaté (São Paulo, Brasil). [PDF]
Anuário do Instituto de Geociências, 2007 Notoungulates were recovered from bentonitic clays of the Tremembé Formation (Taubaté Basin).Two families, three genres and two species are known so far: Leontinidae (Taubatherium paulacoutoi and ?Ancylocoelus) and Notohippidae (Rhychippus brasiliensis).

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 28, Issue 1, January/March 2025.We show that excluding native grazers from a South American grassy ecosystem leads to strong declines in plant species richness over an 18‐month period. Our results imply that severely defaunated South American ecosystems have retained plant taxa and functional trait complexes that can tolerate intense herbivory, identifying herbivore reintroductions ...

Phylogenetic revision of the South American notopithecines (Mammalia: Notoungulata)
Journal of Systematic Palaeontology, 2015 A phylogenetic analysis of all Eocene taxa assigned to Notopithecinae has been conducted, evaluating relationships amongst notopithecines, basal interatheriids and Interatheriinae. Other groups of native ungulates were also included. New dental and postcranial characters are considered with respect to previously published data; some characters are ...
