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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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
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 ...

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.
