A Paleogene Chondrichthyan Assemblage From Central Chile Supports a Latitudinal and Temporal Boundary of the Weddellian Province Along the Southeastern Pacific

open access: yesActa Palaeontologica Polonica
The locality of Algarrobo in central Chile, has yielded a rich Late Cretaceous fossil assemblage that enriched the knowledge of the vertebrate diversity in the context of the Weddellian Biogeographic Province, by providing midlatitude records comparable ...

New Paleogene records of cartilaginous fishes (Chondrichthyes) from central Chile, including the oldest lamnid diversity from the southeastern Pacific [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ
Background The Paleogene chondrichthyan diversity of the southern hemisphere is mostly known in Antarctica, southernmost South America and New Zealand, but records from the southeastern Pacific remain sparse to date.

A Postcranial Skeleton of an Elasmosaurid Plesiosaur From the Maastrichtian of Central Chile, With Comments on the Affinities of Late Cretaceous Plesiosauroids From the Weddellian Biogeographic Province

open access: yesCretaceous Research, 2012
An almost complete postcranial skeleton recovered from late Maastrichtian beds of central Chile, which can be confidently referred to the clade Elasmosauridae (Sauropterygia: Plesiosauroidea), is described. The material displays diagnostic characters separately observed in several known Late Cretaceous plesiosaurians from the Southern Hemisphere ...

Redescription of Tuarangisaurus Keyesi (Sauropterygia; Elasmosauridae), a Key Species From the Uppermost Cretaceous of the Weddellian Province: Internal Skull Anatomy and Phylogenetic Position

open access: yesCretaceous Research, 2017
Abstract The systematics of elasmosaurids are not well resolved partially because of the scarcity of well-preserved skull material. Among Weddellian elasmosaurids, one exception to this is the holotype of Tuarangisaurus keyesi from upper Campanian–lower Maastrichtian levels of the Maungataniwha Sandstone Member of the Tahora Formation, Mangahouanga ...

New Elasmosaurids (Sauropterygia, Plesiosauria) From the Late Cretaceous of the Magallanes Basin, Chilean Patagonia: Evidence of a Faunal Turnover During the Maastrichtian Along the Weddellian Biogeographic Province

open access: yesAndean Geology, 2015
Several Upper Cretaceous plesiosaur specimens recovered from southernmost Chile are described here. These were collected from upper levels of the Dorotea Formation exposed on three different localities (Sierra Baguales, Cerro Castillo, and Dumestre). The new material includes the first record of Aristonectes (Plesiosauria, Elasmosauridae), previously ...

An evolutionary perspective on marine faunal connections between southernmost South America and Antarctica

open access: yesScientia Marina, 1999
The origins of present day benthic marine faunas from both the Magellan and Antarctic provinces may lie as far back as the Early Cretaceous (approx. 130 Ma).

Eocene belemnites from Hungary

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract The Middle Eocene nummulitic limestone at Dudar, Transdanubian Hungary, has yielded several belemnite rostra during the last 60–70 years. The correct interpretation of these fossils was made possible by the fact that one of these specimens retained the remnants of the conotheca within the alveolus, while others preserved the conical, tapering ...

The synonymy of the Late Cretaceous mosasaur (Squamata) genus Lakumasaurus from Antarctica with Taniwhasaurus from New Zealand and its bearing upon faunal similarity within the Weddellian Province

Geological Journal, 2007
AbstractNovas et al. (2002. Ameghiniana 39:245–249) described and named a new mosasaur as Lakumasaurus antarcticus from the Late Cretaceous marine deposits of the Antarctic Peninsula. The specimen was recovered from the late Campanian Santa Marta Formation on James Ross Island.
