    AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES Published by Number 267 Tnz AMERICAN MUsuMOF NATuRAL HIsTORY April 30, 1927 56.9(117:78.6) MAMMALIAN FAUNA OF THE HELL CREEK FORMATION OF MONTANA BY GEORGE GAYLORD SIMPSON In 1907, Barnum Brown' announced the discovery, in the Hell Creek beds of Montana, of a small number of mammalian teeth. He then listed only Ptilodus sp., Meniscoessus conquistus Cope and Menisco8ssus sp., without description. In connection with recent work on the mammals of the Paskapoo formation of Alberta, this collection was referred to the writer for further study through the kindness of Mr. Brown and of Dr. W. D. Matthew, and a brief consideration of it is here presented. The material now available consists of two lots, one collected in 1906 by Brown and Kaisen, the other part of the Cameron Collection. The latter has no definite data as to locality save "the vicinity of Forsyth, Montana, and Snow Creek," and is thus from a region intermediate between the locality of the other Hell Creek specimens and that of the Niobrara County, Wyoming, Lance, but much nearer the former. Brown's collection is from near the head of Crooked Creek, in Dawson County, about eleven miles south of the Missouri River, Crooked Creek joining the latter about four miles northeast of the mouth of Hell Creek, along which are the type exposures of the formation. The mammals agree with the other palaeontological data in being of Lance age, although slightly different in detail from the Wyoming Lance fauna. The only localities now known for mammals of Lance age are the present ones, the classical Niobrara County Lance outcrops whence came all of Marsh's specimens, and an unknown point or points in South Dakota where Wortman found the types of Meniscoessus conquistus Cope and Thlzeodon padanicus Cope.

  • Mamiferos Mesozoico
    A la sombra de los gigantes: un repaso a la historia de los Mamíferos Mesozoicos de Teruel Grupo Aragosaurus‐IUCA (www.aragosaurus.com). Universidad de Zaragoza Diminutos y conocidos casi exclusivamente por sus dientes aislados, los mamíferos del Mesozoico vivieron a la sombra de otros vertebrados gigantescos bien populares, los dinosaurios. Cuando abrimos el capítulo sobre el origen de los mamíferos nos encontramos con criaturas enigmáticas, pequeñas y mal representadas en el registro fósil. Además su descubrimiento está ligado no a una gloriosa campaña de campo sino a la paciente labor de lavado y triado en el campo primero y en el laboratorio posteriormente; lo que hace que muchas veces los descubrimientos tengan lugar meses y hasta años después que los grandes vertebrados hayan salido a la luz. Sólo después de una paciente y cuidadosa labor de lavado, tamizado y triado de toneladas de sedimentos se han obtenido molares de mamíferos que nos indican que Teruel, durante el Cretácico inferior, formaba parte de un mundo global, en el que vivían animales que encontramos en la cercana provincia de Cuenca, en Portugal, en el Sur del Reino Unido, en el Norte de Marruecos, en Norteamérica y en Suramérica, en los vastos desiertos de Asia central y en Australia. Las tres cuartas partes de la historia de nuestros ancestros y parientes más cercanos han transcurrido durante el Mesozoico, en los períodos conocidos como Triásico, Jurásico y Cretácico, es decir entre hace entre 220 y 65 millones de años. El fin de los dinosaurios en el límite Cretácico/Terciario, hace 65 ma (K/T) supuso una revolución en la vida del planeta y la oportunidad que esperaban los mamíferos para expandirse, diversificarse y crecer en tamaño corporal.

  • Multituberculate Mammals from the Cretaceous of Uzbekistan
    Multituberculate mammals from the Cretaceous of Uzbekistan ZOFIA KIELAN- JAWOROWSKA and LEV A. NESSOV Kielan-Jaworowska, 2. & Nessov, L. A. 1992. Multituberculate mammals from the Cretaceous of Uzbelustan. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 37, 1, 1- 17. The first western Asian multituberculates found in the Bissekty Formation (Co- niacian) of Uzbekistan are described on the basis of a lower premolar (p4), a fragment of a lower incisor, an edentulous dentary, a proximal part of the humerus and a proximal part of the femur. Uzbekbaatar kizylkumensis gen. et sp. n. is defined as having a low and arcuate p4. possibly without a posterobuccal cusp; it presumably had two lower premolars, as inferred from the presence of a triangular concavity at the upper part of the anterior wall of p4, and p3 less reduced in relation to p4 than in non-specialized Taeniolabidoidea and Ptilodontoidea. Uzbek- baatar is placed in the Cimolodonta without indicating family and infraorder. It might have originated from the Plagiaulacinae or Eobaatarinae.

Known from the Late Triassic to the Early Oligocene (Hahn & Hahn 1983), this order of mammals was dominant throughout the Mesozoic in most of the local faunas studied.

  • Masticatory Musculature of Asian Taeniolabidoid Multituberculate Mammals
    Masticatory musculature of Asian taeniolabidoid multituberculate mammals PETR P. GAMBARYAN & ZOFIA KIELAN-JAWOROWSKA* Gambaryan, P.P. & Kielan-Jaworowska, 2. 1995. Masticatory musculature of Asian taeniolabidoid multituberculate mammals. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 40, 1, 45-108. The backward chewing stroke in multituberculates (unique for mammals) resulted in a more anterior insertion of the masticatory muscles than in any other mammal group, including rodents. Multituberculates differ from tritylodontids in details of the masticatory musculature, but share with them the backward masticatory power stroke and retractory horizontal components of the resultant force of all the masticatory muscles (protractory in Theria). The Taeniolabididae differ from the Eucosmodontidae in having a more powerful masticatory musculature, expressed by the higher zygomatic arch with relatively larger anterior and middle zygomatic ridges and higher coronoid process. It is speculated that the bicuspid, or pointed upper incisors, and semi-procumbent, pointed lower ones, characteristic of non- taeniolabidoid mdtitliberculates were used for picking-up and killing insects or other prey. In relation to the backward power stroke the low position of the condylar process was advantageous for most multituberculates. In extreme cases (Sloanbaataridae and Taeniolabididae), the adaptation for crushing hard seeds, worked against the benefit of the low position of the condylar process and a high condylar process developed. Five new multituberculate autapomorphies are rec- ognized: anterior and intermediate zygomatic ridges: glenoid fossa large, flat and sloping backwards (forwards in rodents), arranged anterolateral and standing out from the braincase; semicircular posterior margin of the dentary with condylar process forming at least a part of it; anterior position of the coronoid process; and anterior position of the masseteric fossa.

  • New Specimens of the Multituberculate Mammal Sphenopsalis from China: Implications for Phylogeny and Biology of Taeniolabidoids
    New specimens of the multituberculate mammal Sphenopsalis from China: Implications for phylogeny and biology of taeniolabidoids FANG-YUAN MAO, YUAN-QING WANG, and JIN MENG Mao, F.-Y., Wang, Y.-Q., and Meng, J. 2016. New specimens of the multituberculate mammal Sphenopsalis from China: Implications for phylogeny and biology of taeniolabidoids. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 61 (2): 429–454. Multituberculates are the most diverse and best known group of Mesozoic mammals; they also persisted into the Paleogene and became extinct in the Eocene, possibly outcompeted by rodents that have similar morphological and pre- sumably ecological adaptations. Among the Paleogene multituberculates, those that have the largest body sizes belong to taeniolabidoids, which contain several derived species from North America and Asia and some species with uncertain taxonomic positions. Of the known taeniolabidoids, the poorest known taxon is Sphenopsalis nobilis from Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, China, represented previously by a few isolated teeth. Its relationship with other multituberculates thus has remained unclear. Here we report new specimens of Sphenopsalis nobilis collected from the upper Paleocene of the Erlian Basin, Inner Mongolia, China, during a multi-year field effort beginning in 2000. These new specimens document substantial parts of the dental, partial cranial and postcranial morphologies of Sphenopsalis, including the upper and lower incisors, partial premolars, complete upper and lower molars, a partial rostrum, fragments of the skull roof, middle ear cavity, a partial scapula, and partial limb bones. With the new specimens we are able to present a detailed description of Sphenopsalis, comparisons among relevant taeniolabidoids, and brief phylogenetic analyses based on a dataset consisting of 43 taxa and 102 characters.
