The glacigenic boulders from the Hirnantian Don Braulio Formation of the Argentine Precordillera contain a well preserved shelly fauna allowing to a better knowledge of brachiopods and bivalves, but gastropods remain undescribed. The purpose of this paper is to give…

Although South America lost more megafaunal genera than any other continent during the Late-Quaternary Extinction event (LQE), little is known about the chronology, causes or dynamics of these extinctions, especially in the northern part of the continent. Fossil deposits in…

The Paleontology teams at the Universidade Federal do Acre (UFAC) and the Universidade de Brasília (UnB) worked together in order to increase macro and micropaleontological knowledge of the late Miocene rocks exposed at Niterói (10º08'30''S-67º48'46,3''W), on the right margin of…

The theropod material of the Bauru Basin consists mainly of isolated teeth, bone elements being rare, generally isolated and fragmented. The best known theropod of the unity is Pycnonemosaurus nevesi, an abelisaurid described based on some fragmented elements. An ungeal…

The main characteristics of Darwin's life and work will be examined, as well as the developments which occurred after his death, especially neodarwinism and the synthetic theory of organic change. In which ways the extraordinary progress made in the field…

Se realiza un análisis de la importancia que posee la Zona No - Saturada en el conocimiento de los fenómenos hidrológicos en llanuras, por radicarse en ese ámbito los más significativos en la fase terrestre del ciclo hidrológico (evapotranspiración e…

Se presentan ocho fechados 14C-AMS sobre colágeno de huesos craneanos sin alteración diagenética, provenientes de la cueva de Haichol, Neuquén, que serán discutidos con el propósito de adquirir conocimientos más precisos relativos a cronología, paleodieta, entorno paleoambiental del sitio y…

Tardigrades constitute one of three clades of Xenarthra. Whereas modern tree sloths are common in the Amazonian Basin, their giant ground sloth "kin" were abundant throughout the Americas. During the Miocene, sloths were conspicuous faunal elements in Patagonia, generally considered…

Recent contributions to the knowledge of Gondwanan cynodonts highlight the presence in Africa of taxa previously recognized in South America and vice-versa. This is the case for the Middle Triassic Namibian fauna from the upper Omingonde Formation, where the first…
