    Isthminia panamensis, a new fossil inioid (Mammalia, Cetacea) from the Chagres Formation of Panama and the evolution of ‘river dolphins’ in the Americas Nicholas D. Pyenson1,2, Jorge Velez-Juarbe´ 3,4, Carolina S. Gutstein1,5, Holly Little1, Dioselina Vigil6 and Aaron O’Dea6 1 Department of Paleobiology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, USA 2 Departments of Mammalogy and Paleontology, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, Seattle, WA, USA 3 Department of Mammalogy, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, Los Angeles, CA, USA 4 Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA 5 Comision´ de Patrimonio Natural, Consejo de Monumentos Nacionales, Santiago, Chile 6 Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Balboa, Republic of Panama ABSTRACT In contrast to dominant mode of ecological transition in the evolution of marine mammals, different lineages of toothed whales (Odontoceti) have repeatedly invaded freshwater ecosystems during the Cenozoic era. The so-called ‘river dolphins’ are now recognized as independent lineages that converged on similar morphological specializations (e.g., longirostry). In South America, the two endemic ‘river dolphin’ lineages form a clade (Inioidea), with closely related fossil inioids from marine rock units in the South Pacific and North Atlantic oceans. Here we describe a new genus and species of fossil inioid, Isthminia panamensis, gen. et sp. nov. from the late Miocene of Panama. The type and only known specimen consists of a partial skull, mandibles, isolated teeth, a right scapula, and carpal elements recovered from Submitted 27 April 2015 the Pina˜ Facies of the Chagres Formation, along the Caribbean coast of Panama.

The lack of a high-resolution stratigraphic framework has hampered such study. In this paper we develop the needed stratigraphy for the areas in the Pisco Formation where most of the vertebrate paleontological research is occurring. In the Ica Valley and in the vicinity of Lomas, series of lithologically or paleontologically unique marker beds were identified. These were walked out and documented with GPS technology. Measured sections connecting these marker beds provide a stratigraphic framework for the areas studied. GPS locations, maps of the marker beds on aerial photographs, and outcrop photographs allow field determination of the stratigraphic positions of study areas.

  • New Radiometric 40Ar–39Ar Dates and Faunistic Analyses Refine
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN New radiometric 40Ar–39Ar dates and faunistic analyses refne evolutionary dynamics of Neogene vertebrate assemblages in southern South America Francisco J. Prevosti1,2*, Cristo O. Romano2,3, Analía M. Forasiepi2,3, Sidney Hemming4, Ricardo Bonini2,5, Adriana M. Candela2,6, Esperanza Cerdeño2,3, M. Carolina Madozzo Jaén2,7,8, Pablo E. Ortiz2,7, François Pujos2,3, Luciano Rasia2,6, Gabriela I. Schmidt2,9, Matias Taglioretti10,11,12, Ross D. E. MacPhee13 & Ulyses F. J. Pardiñas2,14,15 The vertebrate fossil record of the Pampean Region of Argentina occupies an important place in South American vertebrate paleontology. An abundance of localities has long been the main basis for constructing the chronostratigraphical/geochronological scale for the late Neogene–Quaternary of South America, as well as for understanding major patterns of vertebrate evolution, including the Great American Biotic Interchange. However, few independently-derived dates are available for constraining this record. In this contribution, we present new 40Ar/39Ar dates on escorias (likely the product of meteoric impacts) from the Argentinean Atlantic coast and statistically-based biochronological analyses that help to calibrate Late Miocene–Pliocene Pampean faunal successions. For the type areas of the Montehermosan and Chapadmalalan Ages/Stages, our results delimit their age ranges to 4.7–3.7 Ma and ca. 3.74–3.04 Ma, respectively. Additionally, from Buenos Aires Province, dates of 5.17 Ma and 4.33 Ma were recovered for “Huayquerian” and Montehermosan faunas. This information helps to better calibrate important frst appearances of allochthonous taxa in South America, including one of the oldest records for procyonids (7.24–5.95 Ma), cricetids (6.95– 5.46 Ma), and tayassuids (> 3.74 Ma, oldest high-confdence record).

Sistemática, Evolución y Biogeografía Diego Brandoni Director: Gustavo J. Scillato-Yané 2006 Resumen El objetivo de la presente Tesis Doctoral es realizar un estudio sistemático, filogenético y biogeográfico de los Megatheriinae registrados en el Terciario de la República Argentina. En la Argentina, la subfamilia Megatheriinae se registra desde el Colloncurense (Mioceno medio) de Patagonia, hasta el Lujanense (Pleistoceno tardío-Holoceno temprano) estando representada fundamentalmente por Megatherium americanum Cuvier, 1796, de amplia distribución en nuestro territorio. A pesar de la realización de varios trabajos recientes (e. g. Carlini et al., 2002; De Iuliis et al., 2004), los Megatheriinae terciarios (Mioceno medio-Plioceno) ofrecen un campo en buena parte inexplorado. Es evidente la existencia de una gran incertidumbre acerca de la validez de los taxones originalmente descritos, su caracterización anatómica y las relaciones filogenéticas entre éstos. Los megaterinos están bien representados en el registro paleontológico argentino, fundamentalmente en lo que respecta a taxones cuaternarios (i. e. Megatherium), pero medianamente en cuanto a aquéllos terciarios.

  • The Xenarthra Families Myrmecophagidae and Dasypodidae
    Smith P - Xenarthra - FAUNA Paraguay Handbook of the Mammals of Paraguay Family Account 2a THE XENARTHRA FAMILIES MYRMECOPHAGIDAE AND DASYPODIDAE A BASIC INTRODUCTION TO PARAGUAYAN XENARTHRA Formerly known as the Edentata, this fascinating group is endemic to the New World and the living species are the survivors of what was once a much greater radiation that evolved in South America. The Xenarthra are composed of three major lineages (Cingulata: Dasypodidae), anteaters (Vermilingua: Myrmecophagidae and Cyclopedidae) and sloths (Pilosa: Bradypodidae and Megalonychidae), each with a distinct and unique way of life - the sloths arboreal, the anteaters terrestrial and the armadillos to some degree fossorial. Though externally highly divergent, the Xenarthra are united by a number of internal characteristics: simple molariform teeth (sometimes absent), additional articulations on the vertebrae and unique aspects of the reproductive tract and circulatory systems. Additionally most species show specialised feeding styles, often based around the consumption of ants or termites. Despite their singular appearance and peculiar life styles, they have been surprisingly largely ignored by researchers until recently, and even the most basic details of the ecology of many species remain unknown. That said few people who take the time to learn about this charismatic group can resist their charms and certain bizarre aspects of their biology make them well worth the effort to study. Though just two of the five Xenarthran families are found in Paraguay, the Dasypodidae (Armadillos) are particularly well represented. With 12 species occurring in the country only Argentina, with 15 species, hosts a greater armadillo diversity than Paraguay (Smith et al 2012).
