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…

Talampaya and Tarjados Formations correspond to the initial stage of the Ischigualasto-Villa Unión Basin filling, and record the oldest post-Permian events in the region. The sequence consists of red beds deposited essentially by ephemeral alluvial and fluvial systems, and overlay…

Lakes are excellent sensors of environmental change, including climate change. Chironomids (Insecta, Diptera) and ostracods (Crustacea) are among the most useful biological indicators for paleoenvironmental reconstruction found in lake sediments, due to their sensitiveness to environmental variables. However, the use…
